1986 Bimota DB1

The DB1 is considered to be the most valuable Bimota produced in series production. It was the first model developed by the Giuseppe Morri-Federico Martini management team.

Bimota originally developed the DB1 for Ducati as an external engineering contract, at the request of Gianfranco Castiglioni, co-owner of Ducati. Hence, this became the first Bimota with a Ducati engine.

When Ducati cancelled the joint project, Bimota continued to develop and ultimately produce the DB1 on its own and the rest is history, as the Bimota DB1 is one of most successful and beautiful Bimota’s ever produced.
