Handcrafted sport motorcycles are the only thing that Bimota creates, and they are its singular motivation. The DB7 Oronero is the manifestation of the pride,dreams and talent of Bimota.The DB7 Oronero controls follow the quality and performance priority of the entire bike.
Bimota power the DB7 with the spectacular World Superbike dominating Ducati Testastretta Evoluzione engine. Ducati, a partner of Bimota from the beginning, has developed the Testastretta into the world's most powerful and dominating production twin cylinder, while retaining all the advantages of the L-Twin configuration.
It's a perfect match to the Bimota formula and guarantees excitement with every twist of the throttle. The hammering 160+ horsepower Ducati 1098 engine rattles up a storm in even neutral thanks to a semi-exposed dry clutch. It's map is race tuned for more midrange, but that was hardly necessary; the 1098 happily lifted the front wheel in third gear with no such additional grunt. With all weight savings, Oronero makes through its use of carbon fibre, the bike ends up with a hair-raising 1:1 horsepower to weight ratio.
Carbon fibre throughout, offering the ultimate combination of strength and light weight. The Oronero is an exciting evolution of an absolute masterpiece featuring arguably the most intriguing, technically advanced chassis ever to harness a Ducati 90-degree V-Twin: correct steering geometry and anti-squat characteristics, generates balanced weight 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.
At a certain level of aggression, this Bimota is so incredibly responsive and surefooted with supreme agility and stability, a sweet feeling of near invincibility. A touch of exclusiveness that sets you apart in any crowd.
