Bimota Db10 Bimotard
The Bimota Db10 Bimotard has a top speed of ~220 km/h (estimated; note: supermotard gearing may limit top speed despite powerful engine), produces ~162 hp and weighs ~168 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
La Bimota DB10 Bimotard a été présentée en 2010 en tant que supermotard à production limitée construite autour du bimoteur refroidi par air Ducati 1098, mettant en valeur la combinaison emblématique de Bimota entre une ingénierie de châssis italienne exotique et un puissant moteur donneur. Elle se distinguait par son cadre en treillis, ses composants haut de gamme et la combinaison inhabituelle d'une ergonomie supermotard et de niveaux de performance proches de ceux d'une moto de sport. Les chiffres de production étaient extrêmement faibles, ce qui en fait une pièce de collection rare qui illustre l'approche de niche de Bimota en matière de fabrication de motos.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"A magnificent obsession best owned by wealthy, mechanically gifted enthusiasts only."
$18,000-$28,000 usedThe DB10 Bimotard is one of those bikes that stops conversations in parking lots and starts arguments about whether you're actually brave enough to own one. Built around the Ducati 1098 engine in a handmade Bimota chassis, it delivers supermoto handling with proper superbike muscle — a genuinely intoxicating combination that no other manufacturer has attempted at this level. Low production numbers mean finding one is half the battle, and when you do, expect to pay seriously for the privilege. Here's the honest part: ownership costs are brutal. Parts availability ranges from difficult to impossible, and most independent mechanics will hand it straight back to you. You're essentially buying a piece of rolling Italian art that requires either a Bimota dealer relationship or genuine mechanical confidence. The suspension geometry rewards experienced riders but will punish anyone still developing their technique. Electrical gremlins are reported frequently on earlier examples — budget accordingly.
