1980 Ducati Pantah 500 Desmo

Highlights

  • Rare light metallic blue colour scheme
  • Only 33,380 km (20,740 miles) from new
  • Comprehensive history file including service records, old MOTs and manuals
  • Upgraded with 2-into-1 racing exhaust system


The Appeal

The Pantah introduced a pivotal moment in Ducati's history, introducing the iconic trellis frame that would define the brand for decades to come, while steering the company's lineage away from older drivetrains. Up until this point, Ducati were defined by bevel-gear drive; this introduced belt-driven camshafts, which really redefined what their  two-wheelers were capable of.

This particular Pantah stands out in its rare light metallic blue finish and remarkably low mileage, having covered just over 20,000 miles in its 45-year lifetime. With recent mechanical attention and an impressive history file, this well-preserved Italian classic is bound to impress - a rare heritage mount with Italian elegance built into its every inch.
