Surely they have to be worth more than that.

I thought the Paso's were 750? I'd rock one. No shame.
No, that's a 907i.e. The biggest thing that was wrong with the Paso was the Weber carb; the 907i.e. is fuel injected and quite a good bike.
I would expect that to be worth more, but the ad does say "high, high miles", so maybe that's giving him trouble in selling it. I wonder what "high, high miles" is.

Youre right.Originally Posted by PhilB
I put the paso and the 907 in the same category though. "Unsellable"
Meh... I like them. Guess I'm the minority...
Eastern Cycle back in 1988, Doug. Wanted me to buy a Paso 750 I think back then. I bought an 88 GSX-R. Happy I did.

"High, high miles" - "Any Ducati that needs a full motor rebuild is no bargain - at any price." That is probably what runs through most people's minds when they read that ad. It is what runs through mine.
High high miles means 944 candidate to me.
Ah oilers. I've had 4 of them in the past year. Any pics of you guy's past ones?
Man I remember lusting after this machine back then....then a year or 2 later they blew me away again with the 916.....
The price at 1500 seems low, but remember these were quite expensive when new so it will be expensive to rebuild now...and parts are not priced like a 93 Suzuki...they are much higher.
Still, I like it!
I'd rather own a moped than a Kan-O-Tuna.
I like Duc's and I just can't get into the styling of those. Other bikes can take up precious space in the garage for me thanks.

I spoke w/ him a while back , I think it has around 50k on it. Not positive. He is from Maine but the bike was at his ducati guy in NH. Probably a good deal ........
I've been pretty damn happy with my '93 Ducati.
Well, that's not too bad. I'd want to see records that it's been maintained, and that good quality oil has been used. If so, then it's got plenty of life left in it, and would be a great bargain for someone who wants a unusual and very good all-around bike. I'm not sure if that model has the older style 16" wheels, or was changed to 17". If the former, that's a bit of a PITA; if the latter, then it's good to go and someone who wants a great deal should buy it.

Better off just getting herpes. Cheaper, easier to get rid of and at least you got one good ride out of it.
I've owned two of these, bought one new in '92 and had a used one a few years ago, I just got tired of dealing with the plastics to do any servicing, (all my current bikes are naked). Otherwise, a great touring bike. Usually two or three show up at IMOC every year. Decent availability of parts, easy to service DIY, excellent support on the forum ducatipaso.org, like a lot of other 20-year old bikes. The Paso (750 and 906) had 16" wheels which restricts tire choices, while the 907 has 17" wheels. Many Ducatis of this era -- not just this model -- had a problem of the sprocket carrier drifting out of the rear hub, then the sprocket studs and nuts would start grinding through the swing arm. Something to check for on any older Duc.
Now that I think about it, maybe most owners got sick of removing the plastics, so it could be a mess underneath its shiny skin, a mess of wires and hoses and cables ... something else to check, get the seller to remove all the plastic.
Now that I think of it, most of the hoses are unobtainable, so owners adapt various hoses from various cars and bikes.
And dealing with vintage electronics.

And don't believe everything you think.
Tempting. I kind of want to own something that doesn't make sense.
Maybe poke around ducatipaso.org for an impression, there's a current discussion about hoses. The 2V manual from desmotimes is good for general maintenance (I think I saw that Seacoast had them on sale at one point) and on-line help like http://www.ducatisuite.com/home.html
