Bimota introduced its DB7, a new bike, powered by Ducati's 1098 motor, but with the style of Bimota's engineers.

It's was reserved for the show in Milan.
It has a brand new injection system, air filter and exhaust, bringing the declared power output to 161 HP.

Rear shock is a Extreme Tech with all kinds of adjustments. Front forks are Marzocchi 43 mm diameter.
Gold series Brembo radial front brakes and same brand for the rear.
Hybrid frame with oval members.
Rims are specifically designed for this bike.

That's all I could find on the article, edited.

Nice find, 1:17 not looking so far off now...

I like everything but the front view. This one, the KTM, Ducati 999 all kind of the same goofy front view.

I've always loved Bimotas, this one is no exception. I like how the frame blends right into to the bodywork.
I hope it comes with brake fluid though.

And passenger pegs.

One other thing: is there some kind of manufacturer's ugly exhaust competition going on?

ONEvcs

Very true. I was thinking something along those lines a few days ago when I saw the new ZX10. I guess those emissions control systems are bulky.

They just copied the Jikser.

That was last year. This year with a power commander, lap timer, and a parachute to slow me down at the end of the straight, I'm going to be much faster.

Wow. A preemptive double finger. Didn't even give me a chance...

Is it just me or does it look like the KTM RC8's long lost Italian twin?

With the exhaust cans from the mid season WSB RC51 (when they were experimenting with exhaust packages and made a "shotgun" single side exit system), this package would be a stunner.

I saw one of these in person, it was pretty cool.

I always get the feeling Bimotas are shop projects when I look at them though...

Sounds like someone needs a lawyer. And a publicist.

Could it be all the fastners that just seem to pop out at you when you look at the bike?

Whats up with that swingarm? It looks like it was sourced out of an erector set.

I think I would rather an MV.
