The Ducati Pantah 600SL (actually a 583cc) was the first Ducati to use a hydraulic clutch. Other upgrades included Bosch ignition, Paoli forks, and a tougher gearbox. The engine was good for 57 horsepower at 8,500rpm and it was paired with a 5 speed transmission and Dell’orto carbs. A year later, the Pantah got an even bigger engine and became the 650SL – most people agree the 650SL is the one to have, but they’re very, very difficult to find.

This example has 43,190 miles and it looks to be in decent shape with the exception of a small tear in the seat and some small scrapes in the paint. Find this Pantah for sale in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada for approximately $5,430 here on Robin’s Classic Motorcycles.
