The Attractions

There are sport bikes and really sport bikes. The Pantah belongs to the second category, a true road-ridable racing motorbike made with the precise aim of offering its rider top-level performance and a thrilling, enthralling experience. When it was presented, experts and enthusiasts immediately fell in love with it, and they still love it today.

The original 500 was the first of a new generation of Ducatis with a V-twin engine. The 600 SL was equipped with a larger, more powerful engine and a fairing designed to better cut through the air. The role played by the Pantah in the history of Ducati's evolution and its remarkable qualities made it a much sought-after classic motorbike.

This 1983 Pantah 600 SL offers a valuable opportunity to discover why these bikes are so revered. The seller assures us that the extraordinarily low mileage of just 11,756 km is real. This is an unrestored example with many fascinating original and well-preserved details, ready to be simply driven and enjoyed, or to be restored and taken to an even higher level.

It is offered for sale with new belts and a recently cleaned carburettor, and has a valid overhaul.
