2013 Bimota DB6 Delirio E Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Bimota for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2013 Bimota DB6 Delirio E pairs a 1078 cc (65.8 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 98 HP (71.5 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 88.3 Nm (65.1 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.9 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,500 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 DB6 Delirio E measures 170 kg (375 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.58 HP/kg (1.73 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 1,425 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, while factory top speed is listed at 228 km/h (142 mph).
