The commercial success didn't come however, and worldwide the Paso 750 only sold 4,863 units between its introduction in 1986 and 1988. Only 700 were imported into the United States in 1987. The Paso was more expensive and had lower performance (72.5 hp and 210 km/h top speed) than its competitors, and had some reliability and rideability problems with the electrical and fuel systems, due to the use of an automotive Weber carburetor, which was ill-suited to a small-capacity motorcycle engine.
