The 2013 Bimota DB10 Bimotard
The 2013 Bimota DB10 Bimotard sits in Rimini's small-batch supermoto niche, a road-legal take on big-bore dirt bikes built around Ducati's proven L-twin. This is a tall, light, aggressive machine that trades touring comfort for immediacy: flick-quick steering, a torquey air-cooled desmo engine doing the work rather than outright horsepower, and a riding position that puts you in charge rather than cocooned. It rewards riders who like to hustle a bike through tight, technical roads rather than eat highway miles, and it demands attention every time you twist the throttle. There's nothing digital or filtered about the experience, which is exactly the point. The 2013 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 2012 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Given Bimota's low production numbers, provenance and maintenance records matter more here than on mass-market bikes. Owners tend to be experienced riders who already have a "normal" bike in the garage and want something unusual, hand-built, and slightly unreasonable for weekend riding. Collectors watch these closely too, since clean examples are scarce and values have been drifting upward.
