Bimota Db11
The Bimota DB11 was introduced in 2017 as a collaboration between Bimota and Ducati, featuring Ducati's 1078cc Testastretta air-cooled V-twin engine housed in Bimota's signature lightweight chassis. It represented a return to form for the Italian boutique manufacturer, blending exotic frame construction with proven Ducati powerplant technology. The DB11 is notable for its hand-built quality, limited production numbers, and the use of a distinctive trellis-style Bimota frame that showcases the engine as a stressed member.

What Buyers Should Know
Ducati Heart Inside
The DB11 is powered by Ducati's 1078cc Testastretta air-cooled V-twin engine, meaning parts availability and service networks are far more accessible than a pure Bimota exotic. This significantly reduces long-term ownership headaches.
Strong Collector Value
With fewer than 300 units produced, the DB11 holds its value exceptionally well and tends to appreciate among collectors. Low-mileage, well-documented examples command a significant premium on the resale market.
Electrical Gremlins Common
Owners frequently report minor electrical issues, particularly with connectors and Italian-sourced wiring components. Always inspect the wiring harness and service history carefully before purchasing a used example.
