Correct - it's a future Ducati model.
Il nostro futuro ha un grande passato
The Paso is timeless.
That's the best thing one can accomplish.
It gets the cold shoulder in the Duc community
but so did the 308 GT4 in the Ferrari world - a less extreme and more practical
Countach with a Ferrari engine.
For me the Paso is a less extreme and more practical Bimota with a Duc engine.
I think the Paso will be pretty collectable in the future despite the Ducati fundamentalists
saying it's not really a Duc.

Re: Taking care of a mature but still very charming lady
The Paso was the first model Ducati built after they were bought by Cagiva.
I like the machined Brembo calipers on the 888 and the Dainese Fogarty leather suit hanging in the garage (at least it looks like one). I just sold mine recently as for some reason the zipper suddenly wouldn`t go higher than the belly button.
The tool kit is incomplete as you may know. An AGM or a maintainance free sealed battery would have been definitely better because there`s less risk to ruin the swingarm. If the regulator/rectifier fails the battery boils and the acid spills leaving white spots on the swingarm. It`s good that the vent tube on the old battery was really long. This is better though
If you don`t have it already do the coil wiring modification as romus suggested.
