Ducati unveiled its street-legal enduro, the "Desmo450 EDS," on June 9. It's the third model in the 450 platform and the only one in its class equipped with desmodromic valve actuation. Its 449.6cc single produces 42 horsepower, with an 8.5-liter tank and a dry weight of 119.9kg. European sales begin in July, with German pricing starting at 12,490 euros. It's a model marking Ducati's entry into the dual-sport market.

Looking at the spec sheet, being the only bike in its class with desmo valvetrain on a 449.6cc single already gets my pulse up. 42 horsepower at 119.9kg dry — that lightness is irresistible. As the third act of the 450 platform, Ducati's push into street-legal enduro feels like it's rewriting the old assumptions about dual-sport bikes, and that's what does it for me.

Converted to yen that's around 2 million? At this price a trail crash would be devastating.

A Ducati street-legal enduro is just purely exciting. Desmo playing in the mountains is pure romance.

Want to know the weight and horsepower for the 450 single. Also curious about the suspension specs on the EDS.

KTM and Husqvarna have way more of a track record in this segment. Isn't Ducati way too late to the game?

Ducati doing an enduro, huh... makes sense if you think of it as the natural evolution of the DesertX.

Starting at €12,490, how many people are actually willing to pay that for an enduro?
