Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, torquey, quick-steering supermoto-style bike.
PurposeBuilt as an exotic, low-volume Italian special for aggressive back-road blasting and supermoto-style cornering fun rather than outright top-speed pursuits.
Rider FitThe tall 810mm seat height, minimal wind protection, and firm sporty ergonomics demand an active, fit rider comfortable with a commanding upright stance.
CharacterA rare, boutique-built hybrid combining a punchy Ducati L-twin with razor-sharp supermoto handling and premium Brembo and Marzocchi hardware.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting long-distance touring comfort, pillion-friendly practicality, or a low-maintenance everyday commuter.

2016 Bimota DB10 Bimotard Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Bimota DB10 Bimotard, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
