Ducati increased the bore from 499cc to 583cc to give the already popular 500 Pantah longer legs and more go, and in 1982 introduced the 600 version of their mid-sized sports bike
-
The 600SL was a significant development for the marque, pioneering the use of a Desmodromic L-twin engine with a toothed rubber belt to drive the cams, a design that laid the foundation for future generations of Ducati models
- The SL featured an iconic half-fairing, aggressive clip-on handlebars, and a sporty riding position
- It was powered by a 583cc, air-cooled, 90° L-twin, four-stroke engine, fuelled through a pair of 36mm Dell'Orto PHM carburettors, and offering 61bhp and 33lb/ft of torque enabling a top speed of around 121mph
- The steel trellis frame featured Marzocchi suspension, Brembo discs and a hydraulic clutch, rare in period
-
This example was imported by our vendor some 20 years ago and was going to be the subject of recommissioing, but time got in the way and he has decided it's time to move it on
-
The bike appears to be very original, and the odometer read 22,353km (13,890 miles) at the time of cataloguing
- Generally presents well (apart from the cracked screen) and would respond well to some TLC
- Not currently UK-registered but NOVA paperwork present
