Built around Bimota's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2019 Bimota DB11 features a 1198 cc (73.1 cu in) v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 162 HP (118.2 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 131 Nm (96.6 lb-ft) at 7,700 rpm. With a specific output of 135.2 HP per liter and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (7,700 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the DB11 measures 175 kg (386 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.93 HP/kg (1.08 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 1,430 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.
