At the heart of the 2008 Bimota DB6 Borsalino naked motorcycle, Bimota relies on a 1079 cc (65.8 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 95 HP (69.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 105 Nm (77.4 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 88 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 DB6 Borsalino measures 185 kg (408 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.51 HP/kg (1.95 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,425 mm (56.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
