Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for seasoned, confident riders who already understand high-performance Ducati-derived V-twins and exotic Italian chassis dynamics.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique supermoto-styled hypersport, its purpose is aggressive backroad blitzing and trackday carving rather than practical transportation.
Rider FitThe low, aggressive riding position combined with a light 175kg dry weight rewards an active, athletic riding style but punishes long stints in the saddle.
CharacterThe DB11 is a razor-sharp, boutique Italian exotic that pairs Ducati Testastretta punch with hand-built Bimota engineering for maximum feedback and minimal compromise.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a relaxed, forgiving touring companion.

2013 Bimota DB11 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Bimota DB11, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
