There is an interesting motorcycle, which logo combines the names of two famous motorcycle brands — Cagiva and Ducati. Initially, as the Cagiva Elefant was modified by the installation of the V-Twin engine with more volume, there was 750 models of Ducati Elefant released . But his fame was brought not by poor reliability and a special logo, but performances at the rally-raids and victory in the Paris-Dakar race under Edi Orioli in 1990.

It was the first bike born from the Ducati − Cagiva collaboration. The name of this bike is a tribute to Renzo Pasolini, the famous Italian rider. He died in accident in Monza Grand Prix 1973.
