At the heart of the 2013 Bimota DB11 VLX sport motorcycle, Bimota relies on a 1198 cc (73.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 188 HP (137.2 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 142.4 Nm (105 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 156.9 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the DB11 VLX measures 178.7 kg (394 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.05 HP/kg (0.95 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,435 mm (56.5 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, while factory top speed is listed at 260 km/h (162 mph).
