MCN has got the elite narrative on the new Bimota DB8 and so we direct to find that in spite of rumors concerning the great opportunity for the Italian firm to release a Ducati Street fighter/Aprilia Tuono rival, meaning a twin-seat, 1200cc entry-level naked, the new bike will in fact be a absolute superbike that provides the opportunity to take your wife or girlfriend along for the ride, as Bimota spokesman Anna Carla Cuneo says “Bimota are used to being amazed with new and inventive motorcycles offering unique design, good power and light weight and lots of of them as well have a wife or girlfriend that would like to come along. We are certain this design will be a big success.”
Built about the similar sanctify oval segment CroMo hybrid chassis now connected to a aluminum sub frame and featuring as well Marocchi and Extreme Tech suspension front and rear, it is simple to observe how building costs have been compact, but we should also state that the DB7’s carbon fiber fairing has been replaced with a cheaper, plastic one.
As a minimum we’re contented by the truth that engineers prepared no concession in the engine section. Consequently, the 1198 testastretta evoluzione, 4v twin cylinder 90° develops no fewer than 170 HP at 9.750 rpm and 131.4 Nm at 8.000 rpm. That’s even more impressive in relation to the 392.4 lbs (178 kg) weight of the bike. This means yet more engine performance that the Bimota DB7 for less money. I believe we’re starting to understand the whole affordability thing. Read the full specs after the jump.
