“Tricolore” is the latest creation of XTR PEPO, where Pepo Rosell builds extreme customs! The Tricolore, is a Ducati-based bike, clad in the three colors of the Italian flag as a tribute to the first Ducati 851 Tricolore.

The Ducati Panthah Let’s first rewind to the year 1976. When Ducati’s 350 cc and 500 cc parallel twins could hardly be called a marketing success, their fabulous engineer Fabio Taglioni set tout to develop a replacement. The Pantah 500 originates from the last of the GP500 racers of 1973. The […]
