Vehicle Information
Ducati Sport Desmo 500 Motorcycle - Street (1977-1982)
The Ducati Sport Desmo 500, produced from 1977 to 1982, was a distinctive model in Ducati's parallel-twin motorcycle series. Known for its sporty design and innovative desmodromic valve actuation, it featured a 497cc air-cooled, four-stroke, parallel-twin engine. This SOHC, two-valve engine, designed by Fabio Taglioni, delivered 50 horsepower at 8,500 rpm, powered by two 30mm Dell'Orto PHM carburetors. The Sport Desmo 500 represented a significant evolution from its predecessor, the 500GTL. While primarily offered as a single model during its production run, its introduction marked a key generation break for Ducati's parallel-twin line. It distinguished itself with a more powerful desmodromic engine, a robust double downtube frame, FPS cast-aluminum wheels, and a rear disc brake, contrasting with the GTL's valve-spring engine and less sporty setup. Its styling, by Leopoldo Tartarini, emphasized its performance-oriented nature. Q: How do I find parts for my specific Ducati Sport Desmo 500?
