Hi Cris,
welcome in this forum, I hope you'll enjoy it .
I already answered to you in the "tta" forum, where I told you the factory colours were the red-white and the blue-white, as I knew.
I also owned a Paso 906 blue-white.
No matter, all advice is appreciated, because always it's possible learn something more.
Ciao

Grazie
Cris

Bike looks good in Grey and white, can you get history of your bike from your registration office, to see what colour was declared when bike was brand new. Have the decals been laquered/clear coated, or have they just been stuck on, ie can you feel the edges? Factory ones were laquered...

On the Paso 906 there were a couple of decals "Liquid Cooled" which in that bike lack.
So, I think that bike has been repainted.
No matter, she looks good !

Ian Falloons book know only, "red", "blue" and "black" for 906. Side 204 btw. Can it be, that Falloon means that "black" that Your colour in his list

about that "liquid cooled" decail from same book(side 78):.... "liquid cooled decals on either side of fairing, whitch distinguish the 906 from the 750- though these decails only appeared on LATER 906s"

Btw, i have seen another such coloured 906, as Yours, long time ago in internet.... It can be some normal thing from factory, that red colour ended and they find such colour from store shelves... They make those times Ducatis so.....

Original decails are under clearcoat!

I also met a gray 906 in milano's fair (nov 2006) but I didn't watched it close enough to see wheter it was repainted.
Have a look under the screws, the paint happens to go away and shows you what's there "under"

My old 906 was a MY '89 too, and had that "liquid cooled" decals.
No matter, on the Ducati website there Paso 906 which seems grey (or the photo is black&white???).

Photo is black and white.

I have keep a foto of the bottom . Sorry now I speek in Italian

" L' etichetta sembra attaccata sul grigio , ma potrebbe essere anche stata staccata e rimessa , le due fiancate dove manca la scritta liquid cooled sono riverniciate e una era sicuramente rossa poichè nell' interno ci sono delle abrasioni che lasciano vedere il rosso , ma sui numeri di telaio e motore non c'è un codice per il colore ?
Comunque ho scritto una email a Stefano Ferrignio di Mondo Ducati "


Ciao

L'etichetta in effetti sembra essere stata staccata e riattaccata.
Certo, è possibile pure che dopo una scivolata una carenatura possa essere stata sostituita con un altra e poi riverniciata, ma tu dicevi che anche il serbatoio sembra rosso....
Certo, potrebbe essere stato sostituito anche lui, ma se fosse così significa che la moto ha avuto veramente qualche brutto incidente e così non sembra.
Per avere la certezza basta guardare il forcellone posteriore: quando la moto ha avuto qualche brutto incidente, le marmitte si piegano verso l'interno e i bulloni delle pedane posteriori vanno invariabilmente a scanalare il forcellone. E' davvero raro che ci si prenda la briga di sostituire anche il forcellone.
Prova a controllare.
Cmq, il numero di telaio non comprende il codice colore.
In questo topic c'è la spiegazione di come sono composti e cosa significano i numeri di telaio.

That label seems to be detached and then reattached.
Really, it's possible that after the bike dropped a fairing could be replaced with another red one which was repainted, but you told also the tank was repainted...
For sure, also the tank could have been repainted, but if it's so, the bike would have had some bad accident, and it isn't seem so!!
You can make sure seeing at the swingarm: when a bike has a bad accident, the mufflers go toward the inner side and the footrest bolts dent the swingarm. It's very rare that someone replaces also the swingarm.
So, try check it.
No matter, the VIN numbers don't talk about the colour of the bike.
In the topic below, there is the explanation of the VIN numbers:

Thankyou now I check the swingarm
Tomorrow I dismount the tank

Ciao

here's the gray paso I met in milano's fair (2006, nov)
Unluckly I had only my mobile to take a pic of it...

Really, it seems to me the same colour.
Even if I never seen a grey one neither a black one.
Ciao

That color grey is an original color, although a rare one.

I worked from 1992 to 1994 for a large motorbike shop in Holland that also owned the Ducati/Cagiva importership. I've handled several Pasos in that color scheme in the showroom.
