The performance advantages of a Bimota motorcycle have been widely recognised by both street riders and competitive racers alike. Bimota race bikes have carried such great names as Virginio Ferrari, Davide Tardozzi, Johnny Cecotto, Stefan Mertens, Giancarlo Falappa, Randy Mamola and many others to victories on the world stage.

Bimota’s unique position in the history of Italian sport bikes, one of technical innovation, unique design, hand-crafting and uncompromising component quality, has always been the primary directive and soul of Bimota. Since the rebirth of Bimota in 2003, these priorities have taken shape in the new generation models DB5, DB6 Delirio and Tesi 3D, all powered exclusively by Ducati Desmo engines. Together, in the world of sport motorcycles, these three model families make an outstanding offer in the Super Sport (DB5), Sport Special (Tesi 3D), and Sport Naked (DB6) segments of the market. Every Bimota motorcycle is proudly designed engineered and manufactured by hand solely in the Bimota factory in Rimini, Italy.

Bimota started in 1970 by Bianchi, Morri and Tamburini and if you take the first letter of their names you end up with Bimota. The first bike which was produced was the SB2. It was powered by a GS750 motor from Suzuki but Bimota opted for high quality of all extra features. The rest was a superb handling roadster with adequate power.

Over de years Bimota used this principle of other manufacturer’s engines and adding high quality technology and parts with the KB1, YB6, DB1, DB2 models. All a success despite the high price of the bikes.
