Hi Pastr,

According to your frame number you have a very early Paso. "ZDM750P” stands for “Italy/Ducati/Motorcycle/750 Paso" and then they started counting production (if I'm not wrong) from 7500000. So you have the 65th Paso ever manufactured. Check whether you have the Öhlins rear shock absorber which was installed on the first 950 or so bikes before switching to Marzocchi.

"DGM520550M" is the homologation number of the model. See more details in this thread (in which I basically asked the same questions as you a few years ago): viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7572


I have no details on the engine number. I'd be also eager to know more about that. Is there a similar system as with the frame number that they started counting somewhere? Or is there a link between the engine number and the frame number? In Laverda 750 (and triples I guess too) communities the 'matching number' issue is a big thing as it proves the original engine is still in the original frame. I don't recall any discussions of that sort with Ducati's though. Maybe someone on this forum can clarify? Thanks.

I've been working with Ducatis since the mid-seventies and I've never seen matching frame and engine numbers. That's not so say there were never any but I've never seen nor heard of them in 45 years.
