2017 Bimota DB10 Bimotard

2017 marks a late chapter for the Bimota DB10 Bimotard, a low-volume supermoto built around Ducati power rather than a mass-market platform. This is a small-batch machine wrapped around a Ducati 1100DS L-twin, delivering the kind of low-end shove and easy midrange that supermoto riding demands rather than outright top-end rush. Riding one means committing to a bike built for tight, aggressive handling on backroads and tarmac hooligan work, not long-distance touring; the upright stance and light chassis reward a rider who wants immediate feedback over comfort. Bimota's hand-built approach means every component feels deliberate, from the frame to the switchgear, and ownership comes with the usual caveats of a boutique Italian brand: parts sourcing and specialist service matter. The 2017 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 2016 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Buyers here tend to be experienced riders and Bimota collectors already familiar with Ducati mechanicals, drawn to the 2017 Bimota DB10 Bimotard's rarity and its distinct, workshop-built character rather than chasing outright performance numbers.
