PASO

[paisano]

You must be running the Weber then? 

My Limited ran like a Swiss watch on 38mm Dellortos. Prime the carbs, hit the button. Started first time, every time.  Could never quite get used to the feel of the 16" though and swapped it for a very early NAS spec 851. 

Good to hear that you can get tires! Those Michelins took a while to warm up and were hard as a rock...

No, I've got 36mm Dellortos - but also short intake manifolds, NCR cams, big-bore high-comp pistons and titanium connecting rods. Lightened fly-wheel and super grabby racing clutch. All running on 93 ethanol pump gas. No choke cable. Giacamoto 2into1 exhaust. This thing is cold-blooded and never particularly happy near idle. Difficult to get a smooth launch without stalling the engine. But an absolute blast to ride!
The lightweight mags along with the modern rubber (which has a much rounder profile than the original tires) take away all the weird quirks I remember from the first bike...

ARGHHHH!!

Nice example, strange that it is at a Salvage shop, at any rate Denver is a bit far. It's easily worth $3,500. If it has been tuned properly for those pipes that makes it very desirable IMHO. - Gene

That Paso is very attractive at that price and I am rather surprised that it is not attracting any viewers.

There are two other attractive, reasonably priced early 90s Ducs on ebay:

1990 851: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ducati-Superbike-1990-ducati-851-nice-original-survivor-21-k-miles-/321571658666?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4adf2a1baa&item=321571658666&pt=US_motorcycles

1993 900SS: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ducati-Supersport-1992-ducati-supersport-new-custom-black-bodywork-/251702231011?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3a9a9f3fe3&item=251702231011&pt=US_motorcycles

The SS is a repaint, but looks well done.

I'm not a realistic buyer for any of these bikes at this time, but I know 5 years from now I'll be kicking myself for not finding the money to snap one up at what will then seem like bargain basement prices.

The SS is a repaint, but looks well done.

The bike has fallen over once on the right side. The last two pics show the result of the tip over. Does not affect the ride in any way.

The front fairing frame is broken on that black one.  I bet that turns people away.

I agree, first thing I noticed, at least he is honest. - Gene

He got $3050, which is pretty good considering....


Here's another '92 white frame SS without the frame issue: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ducati-Supersport-DUCATI-900-SUPER-SPORT-/221598083638?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3398466a36&item=221598083638&pt=US_motorcycles
