2017 Bimota BB3 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2017 Bimota BB3 naked motorcycle, Bimota utilizes a 999 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 200 HP (146 kW) at 13,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 112 Nm (82.6 lb-ft) at 9,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 200.2 HP per liter and a 3,250 rpm working window between peak torque (9,750 rpm) and peak power (13,000 rpm), 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 1.12 HP/kg (0.9 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.
