Bimota DB7 Oro Nero is based around the same basic design as
the standard Bimota DB7, but is eight kilograms lighter thank to the front
section of the frame, the central section of the swingarm and all of the
bodywork being made from carbon fibre. Claimed dry weight is 164kg, compared to
172kg for the standard model
The Bimota DB7 Oro Nero uses the same 1099cc v-twin sourced
from Ducati’s 1098, but a more free-flowing exhaust gives an extra 2bhp compared
to the DB7, taking power to a claimed 164bhp, giving one horsepower per kilo
power to weight ratio.
Any corrections or more information on these motorcycles will be kindly appreciated.
