Ducati file

The 620 Sport was Ducati's 2003 entry sports model in half-fairing form, with a fuel-injected 618 cc air-cooled desmo twin making about 61 hp. Compared with the previous 600SS it gained twin front discs, upside-down forks and an adjustable rear shock. It is a stiffly sprung, precise handler best suited to open roads.
