Bimota DB7
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. |

Re: Bimota DB7
I like everything but the front view. This one, the KTM, Ducati 999 all kind of the same goofy front view.

Re: Bimota DB7
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.

Re: Bimota DB7
One other thing: is there some kind of manufacturer's ugly exhaust competition going on?

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...

Whats up with that swingarm? It looks like it was sourced out of an erector set. I think I would rather an MV.
