Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this Bimota DB6 Delirio. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
One of the better model names in Bimota history, the DB6 Delirio is a naked standard that was part of Bimota’s rebirth once Roberto Comini acquired the firm in 2003.
It was the “cheapest” Bimota in the lineup, though it’s hard to call any bike cheap when the MSRP was over $30,000. For that money, you got Ducati’s dual-spark air-cooled V-Twin, good for 90 horsepower and 70 pound-feet of torque.
You also got styling unlike any other Bimota. For more information, check out this review from Visor Down.
This example (VIN: ZESD699237R000038) was acquired by the seller through an Iconic Motorbike Auction earlier this year, however he’s found something in our inventory that he likes more and so he’d like to trade this in on it.
It was previously accepted as a trade-in by our neighbors at Bartel’s Harley-Davidson. Per the previous owner: “I purchased this DB6 Delirio from a friend (the 2nd owner) who also has the 1100cc DB6R version and both he and I are meticulous re: maintenance and careful yet “spirited” riders. I have not bombed around pulling wheelies on this bike in like some Super Duke owners I know with their bikes. It’s not that I couldn’t but I had wanted this model for a very long time. So why sell it you ask? Well I decided I wanted something different and if I could have kept it, I would have done just that.
RE: the mileage, the original dash cluster went wonky on my friend and Bimota at the time “offered” to sell an updated version. The catch was the price and the entire new chassis harness required, hence the very nice digital and programmable Micro-3 dash. The mileage prior to dash replacement was 3,056. When I bought it, the new dash showed 1,715 for a total actual mileage of 4,771. When I started this process of selling/buying, I believe I had 7,683 total miles and by the time I traded it in, it was around 8,000. It’s easy, just add the current indicated mileage to 3,056 and “Bob’s your uncle”.
As you can see, the bike has many DB6R carbon fiber bits (front fender, rear fender, chain guard, belt covers, 3/4 open clutch cover, gauge cover), Earth-X Li-PO battery, etc., NEVER abused, always maintained and garaged.
Billet parts (oil filler plug, crankshaft access cover, fork cap adjusters).
ASV levers.
Zard carbon fiber silencers (tuned to the EFI).
New Michelin Road 5 tires, new chain and sprockets.
This is a very rare, super fun bike to ride and I guarantee you won’t see one very often if at all.”

We note some paint flaking on the frame.
When the current owner acquired it, the taillight was chipped. Our White Glove service was able to track down an OEM replacement from Italy and re-wired the harness to install it.
He also had us change the oil and detail the bike.
Currently located at our facility in Santa Monica, California, this DB6 is offered on a clean California title. Please note that the California registration expired in August 2020 – this did not matter to the owner as he is out of state, however back fees will be due if the next owner needs to register it in California again.
