Bimota has just launched the new version of Bimota DB8 Motorcycle. This brand new motor is powered with 1198 cc engine and dual seats. Bimota is known as big sport motor producer.
“Many people are waiting for this model” says Bimota’s Anna Carla Cunego of the DB8 – so would you swap the carbon and titanium of the DB7 for the dual-seat and 1198 motor on the DB8?
The Bimota DB8 has gained 8cm nose-to-tail (though wheelbase remains the same) and 8kg, taking its weight to 178kg, countered by the bigger 1198 motor’s extra 8bhp and 6ftlb over the DB7. The rear seat allows for a useful bit of underseat storage.
