DUCATI 750 Paso (1987-1988) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1987, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Ducati 750 Paso, a sports motorcycle in its second year of production, packing the same technical, visual, and performance features as the previous model without any modifications.

The Ducati 750 Paso was a motorcycle that debuted in 1986 as a replacement model for the Ducati 750 F1 Sport and continued production until 1988 when it was replaced by the Ducati Paso 906. It was named after Renzo Pasolini, nicknamed Paso, who died in an accident during the Grand Prix at the Monza racetrack in 1973.

In the visual department, the 1987 machine had factory-installed standard features, like a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a large, rectangular headlight, a one-piece dual seat with a pillion grab rail, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and three-spoke lightweight alloy wheels.

As for performance, the 1987 Ducati 750 Paso had installed a 748cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine underneath its armor, delivering 73 hp with a peak force at 7,900 rpm and 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) torque at 6,350 rpm.

The engine was married to a five-speed manual gearbox controlled by a dry multi-plate clutch. The power was sent to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, spinning the wheel to a top speed of 210 kph (131 mph).
