2000 Bimota SB6R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2000 Bimota SB6R sport motorcycle, Bimota features a 1074 cc (65.5 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 152 HP (110.9 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 119 Nm (87.8 lb-ft) at 8,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 141.5 HP per liter and a 1,300 rpm working window between peak torque (8,700 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the SB6R measures 190 kg (419 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.8 HP/kg (1.25 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 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
