Hi, new to the forum but not to Ducatis. I'm a Brit living near Atlanta GA and have a collection of Ducati street and race bikes. I also have a 87 750 Paso Limited , in original white which I only bought a few months ago, its pretty much original with 5k miles but has a few cracks here and there. This is my fouth Paso that I have owned the first one back in 87 when I lived in the UK and was my first Ducati along with a 89 900 Sport a few yrs later. Its been awhile since I got the urge to get another one as I have spent most of my Ducati riding on 748, 916, 999R, MTS etc. I am turning back to my roots and really enjoying the older Ducatis too. I also have a 888 and 851.

Yes I have a large collection of bikes! This week I am picking up a 1990 851 which I used to own many years ago and now buying back. It may become a project as I have already bought a S4R motor kit and swingarm. I may transform it into a more modern handling, power but with the classic looks of an early Ducati

I'm pretty sure the S4R engine doesn't fit into the 851's frame.
That engine is wider than the 851/888, so you'll have to machine it.
I'd let the stock engine...

Welcome to the gang; I think you'll find this to be the best site on the net for anythig Paso.

I am also in the Atlanta area and oddly, also have a white LTD. Now that is a small world. Perhaps you'll let me tour your collection??? Sounds quite nice.

My LTD has a manufacture date of 12/87 but is titled as an '88. Go figure...

WhitePaso,
In general any vehicle produce in September or beyond is considered the next model year. It's like fashion, always a bit ahead of the real calendar.

Cheers,
