1991 Paso 907IE

1991 Ducati 907 Paso

After being ‘gifted’ Ducati by the Italian Government, Claudio Castiglioni wasted little time in rescuing the engineering genus Massimo Tamburini from Bimota, and relegating Maestro Massimo with the design and development of the new Cagiva and Ducati models.

One of the first of the drawing board was the Paso. The sleek, fully faired design Tamburini chose gave him a free hand on frame design, allowing him to make it easier to fabricate (its square tubes welded more easily) and faster to build a bike around on the assembly line. A bolt-in lower cradle gave easy access to the engine for servicing, rather than requiring engine removal as was the bane of all mechanics with other Ducati models.

The solid and functional frame structure was nothing compared to the radical revolution Tamburini made in frame geometry. Tamburini never loved any of the previous Ducati chassis for their rear-biased weight distribution and heavy steering geometry. He progressively refined every minor geometric factor of his project to the point that the Paso still is the best-balanced Ducati chassis ever, even today.

This Paso is version 3 and the last of the model configuration. Powered by a 907cc fuel injected engine, this last edition is considered the sweetest of all engine with factory engineers having fully sorted the electrical anomalies experienced in the earlier 904 build. Located with our good friend & German agent Harald Tuner, this excellent Paso is in very original condition and travelled only just over 30,000 k’s. Advertised price excludes shipping and arrival costs.
