I mean, that all Pasos are NOT SO expensive, compared to other Ducati modells, like Hypersports, MTS, ST4, 888(SP modells). These Pasos are quite cheap just now in EU markets, but surely price is depending mosty condition of bike, nothing else.... :thumbup:

Yes, the Pasos have not high prices, but if you really need some spare part :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: .
No matter, I've always loved these bikes from the beginning.
I was 18 years old in 1986...... Never I can forget the first love.

I don't normally watch the 906 section as I have a 750. Are the 906 16" tyres the same as the 750s ? If so, see my post about Metzeler tyres at :

http://ducatipaso.org/modules.php?name= ... sc&start=0

The quoted price was around R2,300 (around US$ 320 / Euro 250 / GBP 167) for the pair. Quoted delivery was 2 to 4 weeks. I have been waiting a week and a half now.

906 have totally same wheels, as 750 Paso, they are only painted white, what is most worst colour to keep clean.... Those Oscam wheels are very easy to get bent also, cause they are so soft aluminium.... 907 Brembo wheels are much better ones... :thumbup: Btw, Paul, tell us, if You have any problems with those tires... :evil:

Just Ordered some new tyres

Post by JWilliam »

Regarding new tyres, I will be trying a 150/80 for the rear of my 906 within the next few months. It surprises me that I cannot get a rear radial 160/60 for love or money (the front is easier with the wheel size being shared by the Honda Fireblade) but there are FOUR tyre manufacturers who make a 150/80 rear, with Bridgestone and Avon making a radial tyre of this fitment. I can choose this tyre bacause I have had 90mm sliding adjusters replace the standard eccentric adjusters*. I don't know exactly what wheel size a 150/80 is for but I suspect a 4.25" rim width, meaning that the tyre will spread to about 163mm. Fingers crossed that it will roll OK but the 160/70 I have been using has been a good allrounder this last 2 years.
*Available at your local frame builders, a common drag bike modification.
