After Engineering Genius, Ing Fabio Taglioni created his Ducati Bevel Drive Masterpieces, his next great creation was the Belt Driven, Desmo Pantah Engine that is at the heart of all modern Ducati Racing Motorcycles. We are really having fun working on these Ducati Pantah projects! In addition to working on a customer Pantah 600 and our other Ducati TT builds, we are simultaneously working on a Ducati 650 Pantah Racer that originally came in an inventory of Ducati Bevel and Pantah bits from Jan and Toine Biggelaar, a Third Generation Ducati dealer in The Netherlands.  I have always been fascinated with the early...

At Italian Iron Classics, LLC we are very excited to announce that we have been chosen to become an authorized dealer for SmartCarb Technology Elevated here in the US.

The team here at Italianiron is really having a good time getting familiar with the TWC or Two Wheel Classics-UK TT 1000 chassis and bodywork kits. As we will be making these kits available here in the Western Hemisphere, it is critical that we understand the "in's and out's" of the build so that we can provide maximum guidance to that enthusiast who wishes to build their own Ducati TT Racer. We will also offer services to build that TT Racer at the customer's request.  We knew that this TT 1000 Racer build was going to be a "special project" as we are using a...
