The first Bimota to use a Ducati engine, the Bimota DB1 was a pivotal motorcycle. Featuring the 2 valve per cylinder 90 degree 750cc v-twin from the Ducati 750F1, the bike had a trellis frame, which used the engine as a stressed member to hold the swingarm pivot. Combined with all encompassing bodywork the bike was ultra compact and very light.  It was more than 30lbs lighter than the Ducati, which was the lightest 750 available from a major manufacturer in 1985. Light weight, Marzocchi forks and shock and Brembo brakes made these bikes all conquering race track weapons in twins racing. With production limited to around 1000 bikes and sensous wrap around body, the DB1 was a huge success for Bimota.

This particular bike was imported to the U.S. from Japan in 2021. It is stock except to save weight the airbox has been removed and the bike now breathes through K&N pod filters and the lead acid battery has been replaced with an Li-ion battery.
