Gentlemen, Ladies

I must say that as a very "new" owner of a 906 Paso it feels like quite a jackpot to have found your pages.

We recently (today to be honest) purchased our first Ducati together with my wife, and for some reason we ended up with a 1990 Ducati 906 Paso. The model has caught my eye before but they are quite rare here up north and therefore I was not sure if I would ever be able to find one.

The one that we now own had been for sale at a local motorcycle shop for ower a year, and it did not really interest me a first since the previous owner has slightly modified it a bit in the front (as you will see from the pictures). I did however go and take it for a spin, and after that I was sold!

It is a considered to be a "project bike" and the goal in the long run is to restore it to it's original glance and hopefully to give us memorable rides for many years to come!


Fortunately I got the original headlight together with the bike, will probably replace the two small ones this winter.


I kinda like the look of the orginal silencers better then the Remus ones, but unfortunately the sound is not so exiting (these were fitted this afternoon before we took a ride together since the Remus system (next picture) does not at the moment allow for the passanger feet rest to fitted.


The sound of the engine from these babies can NOT be described (although I assume all of you here might have a clue)

The first (and hopefully only thing) that will be done this summer is a small rebuild of the Remus system to fit the passenger feet rest (besides routine maintenance of course).

Cheers

Andreas

Andreas, welcome.
Definetely a good idea to bring the bike back to original. I`ve seen worse but at least it looks well done.
Did the bike have any damage or why was it completely repainted incl the rims ?

G.

Thank you!

To be honest I don't know. I have not yet been able to figure the history of the bike out, but I have the contact information of some of the previous owners and also the register number of the bike before it was brought to Finland, so I hope that I will be able to figure it out.

Cheers

comgratulations with your purchase Andreas, by looking at the pic the front fairing/twin light setup doesnt look too bad
like a lot of other paso, the rear mud guard got chopped off, and the number plate is sort of hanging in the breeze, I personally think the original look is better.
nice bike, enjoy

Welcome to the forum.

So it was you who bought that one.

I remember it being for sale for some time by the previous owner, who finally took it to the store you bought it from and traded it for something else.

I thought about making a purchase of the bike myself, but luckily for you the distance was too much for me and never got to checking the bike out.

BTW, if you dont need the Remus cans, I could buy them from you. I need replacement silencers for my 750. The originals are a bit rusty and I want to restore them. Anyhow it would be nice to be able to ride the bike while servicing the silencers

long live the 906!

Hi

I also noticed the bike quite long ago. I did however try to find an "original" one at first, but since it turned out to be quite hard I ended up with this one.

I think I'll keep the cans for now, in a way they "spice up" the presence of the bike quite a bit due to the sound.

Thank's for not puchasing the bike

By the way, do you have any idea regarding how many Paso's still "in action" here in Finland? I

Cheers

The modification is made ok, and it has taken a while to get used to. I still think however that I'll have it restored to its original charm

Well there´s another Finn here (not lately however), Antti. He owns three. Two 907ies and a P750 so be happy you found one. He probably has the others

There´s at least three 750´s more (two of them are for sale currently in a Finnish online service) and I have one. Also there´s a one 906 that i´ve seen a couple of times on the road here in southern Finland and one 906 that´s for sale currently. And there was one 907ie for sale about a year ago.

So four 750´s, three 906´s and three 907ie´s for certain. Maybe/probably more?
