Built around Bimota's sport motorcycle platform, the 2013 Bimota DB10 Bimotard pairs a 1078 cc (65.8 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 98 HP (71.5 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 105 Nm (77.4 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.9 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the DB10 Bimotard measures 168 kg (370 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.58 HP/kg (1.71 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,465 mm (57.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 220 km/h (137 mph).
