There was an article in one of the major US Moto mags recently last few months) on this bike, IIRC! Cycle World, Motorcyclist, Sport Rider or some such mag. I'd dig it out but my wife puts them in the recycle bin a few days after they arrive.
If it's the same bike, the author indictaed that although he personally loved the thing it was one of the biggest POS Ducati ever manufactured.
I had an 88' Paso and if it was worse than that bike I'd watch out!
