Holding the title of the first Bimota powered by a Ducati engine, the Bimota DB1 is an iconic motorbike that showcases Bimota’s commitment to craftsmanship and performance. It is built around a lightweight tubular trellis frame, which enhances rigidity and contributes to agile handling. Powering the DB1 is a 750cc Ducati V-twin engine good for 80 horsepower and 60 lb-ft of torque.

The motorcycle comes equipped with adjustable front forks and a rear monoshock, allowing the rider to fine-tune the suspension to their preference. Braking duties are handled by dual Brembo front disc brakes and a single rear disc brake. The DB1’s aerodynamic bodywork not only enhances the motorcycle’s natural lines, but also helps reduce wind resistance for improved high-speed stability. With its combination of a robust frame, powerful engine, advanced suspension, and effective braking system, the Bimota DB1 is engineered to deliver an exhilarating and dynamic riding experience.
