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

The Ducati 750 Paso was a sports motorcycle that debuted in 1986 as a replacement model for the 750 F1 Sport. The bike continued production for a couple of years until 1988, when it was replaced by the Ducati Paso 906.

The bike was introduced under the "Il nostro passato ha un grande futuro" (Our past has a great future) slogan and was named after Renzo Pasolini, a racer who died in an accident during the Grand Prix at the Monza racetrack in 1973.

In 1988, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 750 Pali Limited, a special edition model that featured a two-tone paint scheme, red racing stripes, a red leather dual seat, a blacked-out exhaust system, and red-finished three-spoke cast-aluminum wheels with polished rims.

The 1988 Ducati 750 Paso Limited packed the same 748cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine as the standard model, boasting 73 hp with maximum strength at 7,900 rpm and 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) torque at 6,350 rpm.

The engine worked in tandem with a five-speed manual transmission controlled by a dry multi-plate clutch. The gearbox was linked to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the bike to 210 kph (131 mph).

As for the braking performance, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 280 mm discs on the front coupled to dual-piston calipers and a 270 mm disc on the rear wheel tied to a two-piston caliper.
