Engineered by Bimota for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2009 Bimota DB7 Oronero relies on a 1098 cc (67 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 164 HP (119.7 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 149.4 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the DB7 Oronero measures 164 kg (362 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1 HP/kg (1 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 1,435 mm (56.5 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.
