Review
The 2019 Bimota DB8 Oronero is a striking machine built for experienced riders who appreciate raw power and precision handling. At its heart lies a potent 1198cc engine, delivering a claimed 170 horsepower at 9750 rpm and 93.7 ft-lbs of torque at 8000 rpm. This translates to exhilarating acceleration and a top speed of 174 mph. The lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 350.5 pounds, further enhances the bike's agility and responsiveness. The DB8 Oronero features top-shelf components, including fully adjustable 43mm Ohlins upside-down forks with DLC treatment, ensuring exceptional front-end feel and control. Brembo monoblock brakes provide serious stopping power, essential for taming the bike's performance. With a seat height of 31.5 inches, the DB8 Oronero offers a sporty riding position, favoring a more aggressive and involved experience. The 4.76-gallon fuel tank allows for reasonable range despite the engine's thirst. This Bimota is not for the faint of heart. Its focus on performance demands a skilled rider who can appreciate its sharp handling and immediate throttle response. The DB8 Oronero is a statement piece, designed for those who want a unique and uncompromising riding experience. Its limited production and exotic components make it a sought-after machine for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
