Built around Bimota's sport motorcycle platform, the 2011 Bimota DB5S features a 1079 cc (65.8 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 95 HP (69.3 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 103 Nm (76 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 88 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 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.
On the scales, the DB5S measures 189 kg (417 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5 HP/kg (1.99 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 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. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
