The Bimota DB8 Oronero is a true masterpiece on two wheels. It features a fairly attractive body that was especially forged to help it cut the air like a blade and is fitted with a wide range of state of the art technologies that help it deliver first class high speed performances.Featuring a seat height of only 80 cm, a sculpted fuel tank and ergonomically designed handlebars, the Bimota DB8 Oronero is also pretty comfortable to ride.With a dry weight of just 159 Kg, the DB8 Oronero is one of the lightest models in its class. This light weight was achieved by giving the bike a handmade carbon fibre frame and swingarm.At the heart of the motorcycle sits a 1198 Cc, Ducati liquid cooled, twin cylinder, 4 stroke 90°, 4 valves per cylinder, Desmodromic engine which generates a maximum power of 170 HP at 9750 Rpm and 127 Nm of torque at 8000 Rpm. The engine's power id kept in leash by a six speed transmission with dry, multi disc clutch.The Oronero is an exciting evolution of an absolute masterpiece featuring arguably the most intriguing,technically advanced chassis ever to harness an 1198 Ducati 90-degree V-Twin: correct steering geometry, anti-squat characteristics, and balanced weight bias within the same wheelbase as top end superbikes. Seat height is just 80cm, an outstanding achievement on a sportbike so compact, and the saddle is pushed as far forward as possible for a short reach to the clip-ons, very comfortable for the power output.The extra rigidity of the Oroneros complete handmade carbon fibre frame and swingarm results in a remarkable, lighter overall weight, enhancing the precise steering and responsiveness. Then there's the greater power-to-weight ratio, which contributes even more to its very impressive acceleration and throttle response.

A touch of exclusiveness that sets you apart in any crowd. Equipped with the latest GPS technology onboard. Handcrafted sport motorcycles are the only thing that Bimota creates, and they are its singular motivation.
