The Ducati Pantah was a motorcycle manufactured by Ducati from 1980 to 1986, when it was replaced by the Ducati Supersport model. It was presented at the 1979 Milan Motorcycle Show and packed a 90-degree V-twin engine.
In 1981, the Italian motorcycle maker introduced the Ducati 600SL Pantah, a motorcycle dressed in an upper fairing and fitted with a hydraulic clutch activation system. It had an 80 mm bore and 58 mm stroke, resulting in a 583cc displacement.
In the aesthetic department, the bike was fitted with features such as an upper fairing with a round headlight, a large windscreen, a single seat, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and six-spoke lightweight wheels.
The motorcycle was built around a steel frame with a 35 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and adjustable side-mounted shocks on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance.
The braking performance was handled by two 260 mm discs on the front wheel squeezed by dual-piston calipers and a 260 mm disc on the rear wheel engaged by a single-piston caliper, offering optimum stopping power.
As for the power figures, the 1981 Ducati 600SL Pantah had installed a 583cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 61 hp at 9,100 rpm and 45 Nm (33 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
