Bimota Db10 Bimotard
The Bimota DB10 Bimotard was introduced in 2010 as a limited-production supermotard built around the Ducati 1098 air-cooled twin engine, showcasing Bimota's trademark combination of exotic Italian chassis engineering with a powerful donor powerplant. It was notable for its trellis frame, high-specification components, and the unusual pairing of supermotard ergonomics with near-sportbike performance levels. Production numbers were extremely small, making it a rare collector's piece that exemplifies Bimota's niche approach to motorcycle manufacturing.

What Buyers Should Know
Ducati Engine Inside
The DB10 Bimotard uses a Ducati 1078cc Hypermotard engine, meaning parts and service are relatively accessible through Ducati dealers worldwide. This shared drivetrain also means known reliability patterns from a proven powerplant.
Strong Collector Value
With only a small number produced, the DB10 Bimotard commands strong resale value as a rare Italian supermoto collectible. Low production numbers mean well-maintained examples rarely depreciate like mass-market bikes.
Inspect Bimota Bodywork Carefully
Bimota's hand-built carbon fiber and fiberglass bodywork is expensive and difficult to source for repairs, so inspect all panels closely before buying. Cracks, stress fractures, or missing fasteners can result in significant restoration costs.
