2007 Bimota DB5 Mille Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Bimota for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2007 Bimota DB5 Mille pairs a 992 cc (60.5 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 92 HP (67.2 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 85 Nm (62.7 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 92.7 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the DB5 Mille measures 156 kg (344 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.59 HP/kg (1.7 kg per horsepower). 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, combined with a 1,425 mm (56.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
