I crashed the living shit out of a 906.  made an amazing mess, esp what my nuts did to the back of the fuel tank.

i'd love a rat 750.  wonder if a monster tank would fit.

Wish I could find a Paso for 350 bucks. At that price you could turn it into a great bike.

The Paso in question, 750 or 900?

I don't know - I haven't had a chance to get a better look in daylight; I'd initially assumed it had to be a 750 because of the Weber carb, but found out that they did a carbed 907 before they went to fuel injection on the 907ie.

Its ugly as make the beast with two backs.

That about sums it up.  waytogo

Who cares how it handles...there are plenty of great handling bikes that don't look like a bag of ass that has been worked over by an ugly stick. Twice!

it has elements of the TT, 851/888, SS, even the diavel's split site radiator influence comes from it

I would totally enjoy one with modern wheels, forks, brakes, motor, shock and exhaust.
20years later the design is fresh to me. just the tech needs updating.

Drop some Paso plastic on an 848?

 God, I can't believe I just suggested that.

So after a couple of days of work to get back brakes & clutch, wiring around the missing ignition cylinder, and rigging up a way to kill the motor (for some reason, the actual kill switch had been disabled), my neighbor Bill and his friend Peter loaded up the $350 Paso, took it past a battery place (where it became a $400 Paso with a new battery) and out to an industrial park that's empty on the weekend. As they were headed out, he told me he was going to figure out if he loved it and wanted to keep it, or unload it.

They were gone for a good three hours and came back with big smiles on their faces. Looks like the bike found a home.

They were running it without the side fairings, and we were talking a bit about how just glassing up some side skirts to visually connect up the top fairing & tank - while leaving most of the motor exposed - might be a good look, especially if you cleaned things up a bit under the tail as well.

That's a Paso 906.  Neighbor got a 750.  Big difference.
