Positioned in Bimota's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2015 Bimota BB3 utilizes a 999 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 193 HP (140.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 112 Nm (82.6 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 193.2 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the BB3 measures 179 kg (395 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.08 HP/kg (0.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 828 mm (32.6 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,430 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Bimota archive, this model family spans 4 indexed model years from 2015 to 2018, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
