When Ducati entered the Cagiva group in 1983, the company worked to renew some of the lines and models that were coming out of the Borgo Panigale factory. The Paso, designed by Massimo Tamburini, was the first bike born from the Ducati – Cagiva collaboration. The motorcycle was named in honour of the Italian rider, Renzo Pasolini, that was killed in a tragic accident in the 1973 Monza Gran Prix.
A red Paso prototype debuted at the Milan Show in 1985 while the production bike came out on the market a year later. The blue and white Paso motorcycles were only produced in limited edition for the USA market.
For the first time, the clear screen disappeared but the typical Ducati trellis frame was back. The only difference in the frame was that on the Paso 750, the tubes were square instead of round. The Paso 750 had many of the typical characteristics of the motorcycles from the Borgo Panigale factory: it was a four stroke, L-twin cylinder, air cooled engine with an electronic starter, oil radiators and Weber carburetion.
