transforming an original ducati pantah, the ‘sputafuoco’, meaning ‘fire-breathing’ designed by stefano venier is a small cagiva ala azzurra 350cc from 1984. the motorcycle contains a small engine, but is still able to give the sensation of driving a really fast bike. following a strong, elegant line the repurposed sides from the ducati pantah TL and tank are fitted with a customized aluminum gas cap. the installed front light was taken from a vintage moto guzzi, with the fenders, seat and brackets all hand-made. other pieces were re-appropriated from a benelli 354 such as the handlebar, new lighting fixtures and a speedometer where also added.
the ‘sputafuoco’ is based on the original design of the ducati pantah
