1983 Ducati Desmo 500SL Pantah sport motorcycle finished in Light Metallic Blue with Red/Blue livery. Powered by a 500cc engine paired with a manual transmission. Odometer indicating 7,906 kilometres. Single‑seat configuration.



Description / Overview:

A classic Italian sport motorcycle from Ducati’s renowned Pantah series. The Pantah models were significant in Ducati’s history as they introduced the belt‑driven desmodromic V‑twin engine design that influenced many later Ducati motorcycles. The 500SL variant is a lightweight performance machine that is now considered a desirable collectible among vintage motorcycle enthusiasts.



The vendor advises this example is an Australian‑delivered motorcycle that has undergone a comprehensive mechanical refresh after being stored for approximately 20 years. The engine has reportedly received a full overhaul and the bike has been fitted with a number of replacement components including a new old‑stock fuel tank, new tyres and a new ignition system. The motorcycle has also been resprayed and fitted with aftermarket Conti‑style replica exhausts and later‑model Ducati 916 indicators.



Service receipts and the original books are reported to be included with the motorcycle. Inspection is recommended to verify condition and mechanical operation.
