Review
The 2017 Bimota BB3 is a high-performance sportbike designed for riders seeking an exceptional track and road experience. Its 999cc inline-four engine delivers a potent 200 horsepower at 13,000 rpm and 112 Nm of torque at 9,750 rpm. This engine, combined with the bike's remarkably low weight of 179 kg (394.6 pounds), results in thrilling acceleration and responsive handling. The BB3's ergonomics are geared towards aggressive riding, featuring a relatively high seat height of 828 mm (32.6 inches) for enhanced control. The bike is equipped with top-tier components, including fully adjustable 43mm telescopic forks and Brembo brakes with ABS, providing exceptional handling and stopping power. Its 18-liter fuel tank allows for decent range, suitable for both track sessions and spirited road rides. The Bimota BB3 appeals to experienced riders who prioritize performance, exclusivity, and precision engineering. Its sharp handling, powerful engine, and high-quality components make it a formidable machine for both track days and open-road adventures. It's a bike for those who appreciate the finer details of motorcycle design and are willing to invest in a truly unique and exhilarating riding experience.
