- A look at Ducati's watercooled, fuel-injected sport touring 907 i.e. that was an evolution of the Paso. After the lukewarm reception of the Paso 750 and the follow-up 906, Ducati drew on those bikes as well as its newly-launched 851 to create the 907. And it is quite the bike.

I have a 750 Paso, owned it since 1994 and still have it
I actually prefer the 750s in every way: nimblesness, handling, more than enough power. The 907 is much more powerful, but the 750 is fine.
@@wakinossin the fuel injection and The wider tires on the 907 I prefer over the 750. Either way they're both good bikes still a good bike to ride today.
Yes, and the watercooling too. But it's noticeably taller and heavier and not as nimble around town or in traffic. As you say, both good bikes. For all-around day-to-day use I'd take the 750 every time. For a longer highway-type journey I'd take the 907.
I've had mine since new. Yes, very stable over 100. I was able to keep up with 916s. The models after that left me in the dust. Have many of the period mods, with the exception of the 944 kit. Appreciate your video. Thanks.
.Had a 907ie in New Zealand, sold it and have regretted it ever since. Nice collection and good videos, with accurate information on the bikes. Interesting viewing.
Very kind of you to say - thank you Mark! Hope whatever bike you're riding now does it for you!
@@wakinossin I've got a collection, not as exotic as yours, but enjoyable. Mostly Japanese mid 80's 2 strokes. The 907 got replaced by an ST2. I'm negotiating with my wife to let me buy a replacement 907ie that I have located for sale :-)
@@markbrooks1969 Excellent! Best wishes.
Gorgeous bike! Love the lines!
Me too! I have a fondness for all Pasos, especially the 750s though.
Fantastic bike the 907 i.e., better than 750 and 906. I had a 750 Paso 👌
I agree it's a great bike. I prefer the 750, at least with replacement carbs: DelOrtos or Mikunis. The Weber's flat spot is far too annoying in the 750. I think that overall the 750 is a better all-around bike: much more nimble in traffic and around town, comfortable on the highway, fun for track days and plenty fast. Very easy to work on as well, though the 907 i.e. is not that difficult either. I guess it's down to preference.
very nice, i have a Cagiva 900 IE Lucky which has more or less the same engine. would love a 907 to add to my garage
Where do you live Marc? My buddy would sell his.
There's a 92 for sale near my location. 22000 miles or 13670 km up by you. He's asking 3900 U.S. I don't know anything about these right now but thanks for your video.
You should absolutely pick it up. You'll love it.
just bought one of these, do you know a good source of parts for it?
I live in the Oakville area
Sure - ducati dealers have many of them. And ducpower.com has lots of used items. There really is no problem except finding mirror/signal lights. They are available but are expensive.
I have a 907 IE in black and white from 1992 in my garage ... It has about 40K km and was 100% ok when I stalled it in my garage 10 years ago and ... Now I think to sell it but the second option is to bring it back on the road and driving it myself ... My question is : Is it possible to make it roadworthy and reliable like it was before 10 years and how much it's gona cost ... The bike is exclusif, just 110 exemples made in black and white for the intire planet and it's comfortable, stable, safe and fast with good fuel economy ... I did more then one a 5000 km trip with it without problems ...
In the condition that it is today perhaps somebody will pay me 3000 € and say that it will cost 2000 € to make it reliable again = 5000 € Then I will still have an exclusif bike which atires many vieuwers and talks ... What can I buy for 2000 to 5000 € today ? ... Nothing special so I hope to find a mecanic from 30 years ago to do the perfect job for me as the new mecanics from Ducati and many others makes are not at all specialised in these classic bikes ...
This is what Vincent were trying to make with the black prince.
Oh that's an interesting comment - because of the enclosed bodywork I assume?
Best!
I had one of these new in the UK and kept it longer than any of the other bikes that I have owned as it was such a cool bike to ride and be seen on. However those mirrors were its downfall. If you put panniers on it and/or carried a pillion, the rear view was zilch!! Many put an extra mirror on the handlebars to get a rear view but this just spoiled their great lines. The only solution was no pillion 😢 and only vertical luggage, neither ideal!!!
Yes one ends up lifting one's arm - kind of flapping it up and down in order to see out the mirror. But worse, if the bike falls, they shatter. And NOS are impossible to find though there are reproductions, however the repros require removing the original bracket and drilling holes in the bodywork to mount. Plus they come unpainted. So it's a pricy fix. But heck, I wouldn't use this bike for touring anyway. Didn't they make an ST2? lol
I've owned a 907ie for years - I must say that the UK version must be way different to what you get in the states.
I'm in Canada.
Hi, with t he 851 swingarm do you know if they use the 851 shock as well?
Sorry I don't know. But Hagon lists the same replacement shock part number for both, so most likely they do.
@@wakinossin cool, thanks. I'll do some more research
I was owned of ones whit Termignoni the ground was shaking very difficult to drive in small street just for amatory or big strong pilots
I agree, not the best bike for around town.
This whose the best Paso 907 ie.
1992 neue price 19.900 DEM.
1992 1000 U$A $= 1700 DEM.
Look like Ferrari Testarossa.

Just to clarify, and risk sounding like a nerd. It’s was a actually a 904cc but 906 sounded better for marketing.
Possibly the 907 is also a 704cc as I doubt the Block or stroke was changed, just fuel injection and 17” wheels that I think for getting out of a potential situation the idea of 16” have a quicker response was proven as a great Safty feature.
Shame they didn’t stay with the Paso, the soap box looks great and the ST just looks shit/boarding, didn’t have classic Italin stying.
Bring back the paso
A bit of a nerd reply (sorry) but the reason for the 906 monicker for the 904 engined Paso was due to the fact that the gearbox was now 6 speed as opposed to the 5 speed gearbox of the earlier 750.
The 907ie WASN'T a Paso, only the 750 and 906.....
ok
750 Paso, YES; 906 Paso, YES; 907 i.e. Paso, NO; it is just called Ducati 907 i.e.
Yes that's right.
