SB8K Gobert

2007 Bimota SB8K Gobert Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2007 Bimota SB8K Gobert sport motorcycle, Bimota pairs a 996 cc (60.8 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 142.6 HP (104.1 kW) at 9,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 105.5 Nm (77.8 lb-ft) at 8,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 143.2 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,750 rpm) and peak power (9,750 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the SB8K Gobert measures 175 kg (386 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.81 HP/kg (1.23 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,390 mm (54.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
