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.
I like everything but the front view. This one, the KTM, Ducati 999 all kind of the same goofy front view.
...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG
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.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.

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.
Now in stereo Visionaries say "Yes, we can."
Engineers say "Not so fast."
and Seamus is awesome
