2013 Bimota DB11

Bimota's DB11 arrived in 2013 as the small Rimini firm's answer to what a Ducati-powered sportbike could be when built without the constraints of mass production. This is a hand-assembled machine wrapped around a Testastretta V-twin, and it rewards riders who care about chassis feel over outright convenience — the kind of person who notices how a bike turns in, not just how fast it accelerates in a straight line. With power delivery that peaks high in the rev range and a torque curve that demands you ride it with intent, the 2013 Bimota DB11 is not a commuter or a casual weekend cruiser. It's a machine built for someone who already knows how to ride fast and wants a bike that talks back. 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 its status as a first-year model from a low-volume manufacturer, collector interest runs high, and buyers tend to be experienced riders or Bimota specialists who understand the maintenance realities that come with owning something this exclusive.
