2000 Bimota DB3 Mantra Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2000 Bimota DB3 Mantra naked motorcycle, Bimota pairs a 904 cc (55.2 cu in) v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 80 HP (58.4 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 92 Nm (67.9 lb-ft) at 5,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 88.5 HP per liter and a 1,300 rpm working window between peak torque (5,700 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
