Review
The 2013 Bimota DB 10 R is a striking machine with a focus on raw performance. Its 1078cc engine delivers a potent 105 Nm of torque at 5500 RPM, promising thrilling acceleration. The bike's lightweight of 168 kg contributes to its agile handling, making it a joy on twisty roads. With a top speed of 220 km/h, the DB 10 R is built for riders who crave an engaging and visceral experience. Ergonomics are sporty, with a seat height of 820mm placing the rider in an aggressive stance. The fully adjustable 50mm upside-down forks provide precise feedback and control, while the single Brembo disc brake with radial calipers ensures strong stopping power. The 13.5-liter fuel tank suggests a focus on shorter, more intense rides rather than long-distance touring. The DB 10 R is aimed at experienced riders who appreciate the unique character of a Bimota. It's a motorcycle that demands attention and rewards skillful riding with an exhilarating blend of power and agility. Its rarity and distinctive styling further enhance its appeal to those seeking a truly special machine.
