Ducati Paso 907
The Ducati Paso 907 has a top speed of 220 km/h, produces 82 hp and weighs 218 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.
The Ducati Paso 907 IE was introduced in 1991 as the final evolution of the Paso line, originally conceived by designer Massimo Tamburini and launched in 1986. It featured a fully faired body designed for aerodynamic efficiency and a more comfortable riding position compared to typical Ducatis of the era. The 907 IE was notable for introducing Ducati's first fuel injection system (IE = Iniezione Elettronica) on a production V-twin, making it a technically significant model before it was discontinued in 1993.

What Buyers Should Know
Weber Carb Headaches
The 907 uses a Weber 44mm carburetor that is notorious for hard starting, flooding, and rough idling when not properly maintained. Always verify the carb has been recently rebuilt or serviced before buying.
Rare Fully-Faired Design
The Paso 907 IE was one of the first Ducatis to feature a full aerodynamic bodywork enclosure, designed by Massimo Tamburini, making it a visually distinctive collector piece. Complete, uncracked bodywork significantly boosts its value.
Slow But Steady Value
The 907 IE is appreciating gradually as a forgotten classic, with clean examples fetching $4,000–$7,000 USD depending on condition. Low production numbers and its transitional place in Ducati history make well-kept examples increasingly desirable.
Generations & Specs by Year
907 IE introduced with 904cc Pantah-derived fuel-injected V-twin, Weber-Marelli injection, fully faired bodywork.
"Beautiful misfit that rewards patience over everything else."
The 907 IE is genuinely stunning to look at and surprisingly comfortable for a Ducati of this era — that full fairing and relatively low seat height actually work together on long runs. The Weber-Marelli injection was groundbreaking for 1991 but it's temperamental cold, hunting at idle until the coolant temp climbs, and early units had notorious flat spots around 4,500 rpm that no amount of adjustment fully cures. When it does pull cleanly from 5,500 rpm upward, the desmo L-twin sounds and feels muscular in a way modern bikes struggle to replicate — raw, mechanical, involving. But 210 kg plus mid-decade Ducati build quality means you'll be on first-name terms with your Italian specialist within the first riding season.

"A beautiful, rewarding machine that demands a committed, patient owner with money."
$4,500-$9,500 usedThe 907ie is one of those bikes that looks like Italian sculpture and punishes you for forgetting it. That 904cc Desmoquattro is genuinely lovely when it's healthy — torquey, characterful, sounds like nothing else from that era. The fully-faired bodywork still turns heads thirty years on, and the Weber fuel injection was genuinely advanced for 1991. But here's the thing: these bikes have been neglected, crashed, or bodged by optimistic shade-tree mechanics for decades now. Finding a clean one is harder than the asking price suggests. The desmo valve service interval is every 6,000 miles and costs real money — budget $600-900 minimum at a specialist. Fairing panels are either NOS gold-dust or cracked reproductions. The Brembo brakes feel wooden until rebuilt, and the original Marzocchi forks dive under hard braking. Ergonomically it's surprisingly comfortable for a sportbike of its vintage, though the riding position gets tiring after two hours. Electrical gremlins are almost guaranteed on bikes that haven't been properly maintained.
