Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine. By the '60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-Twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart's win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The Massimo Tamburini designed Paso range was launched in 1986 with its distinctive enclosed bodywork, initially having a 750cc engine but uprated to the 904cc motor in 1989. It is thought only about 1800 906 Pasos were ever made.

This 906 Paso, named after famous Italian racer Renzo Pasolini, has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he's decided to downsize his collection. The bike is presented in standard condition, fitted with a pair of Conti silencers but the original black chrome ones are included in the sale. Not run for a number of years, it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a genuine Ducati workshop manual and a current V5C.
