Oberdan Bezzi, the man behind most Ducati renderings, has come up with

the Ducati Pantah 696, a replica of the notorious sports bike produced between 1980 and 1986. Because the original bike was powered by a 90-degree V-twin engine, the designer visualizes the new Pantah as being powered by the 696 engine from the Monster.

As intended by Ducati when manufacturing the bike more than 20 years ago, the Pantah is a low cost sports motorcycle built in the Italian style. Being both accessible and ready to be ridden by all riders, the Ducati Pantah 696 presents major potential of reviving Fabio Taglioni’s idea.
