2015 Bimota DB9

Bimota's 2015 DB9 sits as the mid-range flagship of the marque's naked bike range, built around a Ducati-sourced V-twin wrapped in a chassis that Bimota engineers rather than borrows outright. This is a hand-assembled Italian motorcycle in the truest sense, meant for a rider who wants the visceral pull of a big air/liquid-cooled twin without the mass-produced feel of a mainstream superbike-derived naked. It rewards deliberate, committed riding on a good road more than commuting duty, with a chassis tuned for the kind of rider who notices the difference between adequate suspension and genuinely sorted suspension. Ownership means accepting a smaller dealer network and a bike that demands real mechanical sympathy in exchange for exclusivity. The 2015 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 2014 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Buyers here tend to be experienced riders and Ducati-adjacent collectors trading up from a Monster or stepping sideways from a Multistrada, drawn as much to Bimota's low production numbers as to outright performance. Given the brand's scarcity, a well-documented 2015 Bimota DB9 carries real collector weight beyond typical naked bike depreciation curves.
