Welcome to one of the most polarizing models in Ducati history. Perhaps second to only the 749/999 series, the Paso was a little bit like the un-Ducati.

Despite reviewing well, the Webers had some rideability issues, and the love-it-or-hate-it styling as well as the import price stranded the bikes in the showroom. With sales under a thousand per year, the bikes are now a rarity and…
Shortly after Cagiva’s agreement to use Ducati engines, they bought controlling interest in the company in 1985, and breathed some design and engineering funding into the company.
