The Pirelli were the first tires built for the Paso (and the very few bikes which used to have such damned tires) and the first which were not anymore built.
Later, Michelin made the A/M 59X which were built until 2004 about (if I well remember).
Probably, since the bike has only 7k miles, they could be the first original tires. I wonder...
About the nation, it's really hard to say if she's an UK bike or she was imported.
I don't think that at the Ducati factory they have such register, but the fact she's got the mp/h odometer could mean she's.
Some bike was built for the USA market and later imported in Europe.
Those bikes have a metal plate with the frame number welded on the steering tube.
So, the frame number (in a different way) is engraved both directly on the steering tube and on the plate welded on it.
If your bike has that plate number welded on the steering tube could be an USA bike imported in UK.
Besides, they have the taillight full red (not with the orange turn indicators) and separated conventional rear indicators.
Finally, the USA bikes used to have some reflectors on the fork and on the rear fairings.
Let us know
Ciao

Some has got it, as the one of the friend nojapan.
He unwelded the plate...
I saw another one, the first Paso I bargained for (and did'nt buy).

Good to hear of another Paso in the community nnnnnnnnorman. Maybe meet you with it at Brighton in September as we nearly did a couple of years back. Cheers Keith.

Hi Norman
Was on 851 but struggled with neck angle a little so back on the Monster/Supercity for now. When I saw your thread title I thought you also had 'another' Cagiva 125 also! (I have 2 1/2 Planets - would you like one?
)
I must tip you off when I go to Bury this year so we can finally meet - a few of us are planning to go to Brighton this coming Monday - let me know if this appeals.
Regards
Chris
P.S. - It's 50 year celebration of the Lancia Fulvia Track Day this Saturday at Goodwood if you fancy it?
