Bimota Db10 Bimotard Review

Used Buyer Review

The 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.
