About this model
About the Bimota DB 5
The Bimota DB5 marked Bimota's 2005 return with a modern, lightweight Ducati-powered sport motorcycle. The first DB5 Mille used the 992 cc air/oil-cooled Ducati 1000 DS, followed by DB5R and 1100 versions. Its character is therefore not that of a high-revving four-cylinder superbike, but a light, torquey L-twin in a chromium-molybdenum trellis frame with aluminium side plates, high-grade suspension and Brembo brakes.
The DB5 suits an experienced rider or collector seeking an analogue Ducati twin with exclusive Bimota cycle parts. Match exact displacement and version to the frame plate and documents: Mille, R and 1100/S/RE are not interchangeable. Buy chiefly on maintenance, completeness and the condition of the special frame, bodywork and suspension parts.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check Ducati DS timing belts, valve clearances, oil leaks and cold starting with invoices.
- Establish exactly whether it is a 1000 Mille/R or 1100 version; years and names overlap.
- Inspect the trellis frame, aluminium side plates, swingarm and bodywork for damage or non-original repairs.
- Check overhaul history of Öhlins/Marzocchi/Extrem-Tech suspension according to the actual version.
- Ask about availability of DB5-specific bodywork, electrical parts and exhaust components before purchase.
