Review
The 2013 Bimota DB8 Biposto offers a blend of performance and practicality, allowing for two-up riding. Its 1198cc Ducati L-twin engine produces a claimed 170 horsepower at 9750 rpm and 127 Nm of torque at 8000 rpm, providing strong acceleration and a top speed of 280 km/h. With a weight of 177 kg, the DB8 Biposto maintains a respectable level of agility. The 800mm seat height remains relatively accessible. Equipped with fully adjustable 43mm forks, the DB8 Biposto offers good front-end control. Braking is handled by floating discs with 4-piston radial Brembo calipers, ensuring powerful and consistent stopping performance. The 18-liter fuel tank provides adequate range for both solo and two-up adventures. The six-speed gearbox offers smooth and precise gear changes. The DB8 Biposto is aimed at riders who want a motorcycle that can handle both spirited solo rides and occasional two-up riding. It offers a balance of performance, handling, and practicality, making it a versatile choice for riders who appreciate Italian design and engineering.
