2012 Bimota DB10 Bimotard

2012 Bimota DB10 Bimotard sits in the small Rimini firm's supermoto-flavored corner of the lineup, pairing a Ducati twin with the kind of chassis work Bimota built its name on. This is a naked, high-riding street bike built around leverage and feel rather than outright top-end rush. The Ducati 1100DS engine gives it a broad, torquey delivery that suits tight roads and aggressive direction changes better than long highway stretches, and the tubular trellis frame and upright ergonomics make it feel more like an oversized supermoto than a traditional streetfighter. Steering is quick, feedback is direct, and the whole package rewards riders who like to work a bike rather than just point it. As the first year of production, the 2012 Bimota DB10 Bimotard has no prior model to compare against, so early buyers were getting the platform in its original, unrevised form. Interest today comes from riders who already own a mainstream Ducati twin and want something rarer and more hand-built underneath them, plus a smaller group of Bimota collectors drawn to the brand's low production numbers and the DB10's unusual supermoto styling within that history.
