Rumor or Fact - Please Help

I am the owner of a 1988 white Paso 750. I have been told that in 1988 only 50 white bikes were imported into the US. Does anyone know if this is true? Does anyone know were I could research this? Any and all information is appreciated!

You're not far off.
Only 100 white Paso's were produced, in 1987. 50 for the US, 50 for Europe.

I posted all the Paso production number from Falloon's book a while ago in
Idle Noise here if anyone else is curious about numbers ...
One thing to consider is whether your bike's skins and/or paint are original, too. I've seen some "limited" Pasos which weren't.

so there was 4863 Paso 750.
and, just curious, what could be the number for all Paso bikes
that are on road?
I just love to say sth like, "hey, I`v got Ducati Paso... and only few of them are still all around the world"

The Paso's skins are original. I do not have a limited or controlled air flow badges. I have decided not to repaint and leave minor flaws alone. This bike does has NCR pipe and twin Mikuni flatslides.

I guess it would be very hard to know exactly.
I wonder if there are some statistics about the bikes survived after more than 20 years.
