They are excellent handling bikes.  Seriously, if you ever get the chance try it.  Esp the 906
Could never quite get used to that GP derived 16" up front although I rode a Limited for two years. I'm sure the 17" on the 906 felt much better but I moved on to the first 851 instead. My Limited was Cagiva's take on a db1 which cost twice as much and was simply not in my budget. Explains the bodywork to the youngsters perhaps? Wink

IDK, if you consider what other sport bikes were available in the late eighties, the Paso ain't so bad. Plus, it's a desmo waytogo

I've only ever seen the 750 in person and it was all I could handle. Is the 906 much different?

Ok, you stood next to it.  What was so traumatic about the experience?  I'm seriously curious.

Yes, it's a 900 with six speed so it feels more like a 90s 900ss.

The ergos on the bike are excellent and it has a much stiffer frame than the trellis frames.  The 16" gp style wheel is funky, but you get used to it quickly -- it turns very easily.

It's like a lot of things you'll do in life -- once you're on top, you enjoy the ride and don't worry as much how it looks...

Its ugly as make the beast with two backs. Not sure how to be more clear on that.  Its just not a bike that does anything for me. I also don't care for the ST's or the Multi's (except the new one, that ones cool)

I love the PASO.

in fact, if you could take a PASO and due a total modern internal makeover, 11 deg motor, modern suspension, etc. it would be perfect... I wouldn't change a thing about the way it looks.

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?
