Bimota DB6 Delirio Azzurro
The DB6 Delirio Azzurro applied an Italian national-team tribute to Bimota’s distinctive naked motorcycle. Moto dei Miti and a numbered specialist auction example report 23 motorcycles. The edition is associated with Italy’s 2006 football World Cup victory; a 2007 motorcycle description is a model or build reference, not the date of that tournament.

Design and engineering
The DB6 uses Ducati’s air-cooled, dual-spark V-twin in Bimota’s exposed chassis. With much of the structure visible, the colour treatment and limited-edition details stand apart from the fully faired sports bikes for which the marque is often known. Azzurro and Azzurra spellings appear in sale descriptions and should be handled as aliases of the same edition.
Production and edition scope
The collection listing gives 23 for the Azzurro series. It dates its example to 2006, while the auction documents a motorcycle manufactured in January 2007. Those records support differing individual dates within one edition. Reports about motorcycles supposedly presented to footballers do not establish ownership of a particular bike and should not be treated as verified provenance.
Identifying an authentic example
Authenticate through factory identity, original sale records and the numbered edition details. Compare the blue tribute presentation with documented examples, recording repaints or replacement components. The photographed auction motorcycle is number six; its modifications and low recorded mileage are individual details, not standard features of all 23.
Collector significance
The Azzurro links Bimota’s contemporary naked-bike design with a precise cultural event. Its collector appeal depends on preserving both the edition’s identity and the motorcycle’s own history. Avoid extending the tribute into a claim of player ownership unless documents actually connect the chassis to the named person.
