Hi I know it's a long time to reply but I have had my 500 desmo sport since new - 45 years! It has been a love/hate relationship and nothing but trouble!! It certainly gathers interest especially from other Ducati owners who always say "I've never seen one before!" I would be glad to swap for a 900ss but it would not be fair on you!
Ooo... nice - how about posting a few pics of it on the vintage gallery thread? https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/vintage-gallery.596/page-11
An IOM Ramsey resident had a 500 parallel twin as part of his extensive collection. I saw it at his house.
A bit of a project for sale here in Spain....... https://es.wallapop.com/item/ducati-500-desmo-839092978
Or this one.... they seem to be cheap as chips over here, I can feel a plan emerging! https://es.wallapop.com/item/ducati-desmo-500-828351212
