2012 Bimota DB6 Delirio RE Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Bimota for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2012 Bimota DB6 Delirio RE pairs a 1079 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 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.8 HP per liter, 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 RE measures 168 kg (370 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.58 HP/kg (1.71 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 1,430 mm (56.3 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.
