2009 Bimota DB6 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2009 Bimota DB6 R sport motorcycle, Bimota pairs a 1079 cc (65.8 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 98.0 x 71.5 mm (3.9 x 2.8 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the DB6 R measures 170 kg (375 lbs) dry. 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.
