2007 Bimota Delirio Photo Gallery

The 2007 Delirio is the next in line of exotic, hand-made, limited production motorcycles scheduled to hit American shores from Italy's Bimota. See what we thought during our 2007 DB6 Bimota Delirio First Ride.

With the radical Tesi 2D already on American soil, the DB6 Delirio is hot on its heels, and it will be joined by the DB5 and DB5R sport bikes.

The radical lines of the bodywork, the unbelievably narrow cut of the gas tank, and the way the shapes and forms all blend together, educates even the uniformed eye that this is not a mass produced machine.

The Italian countryside fed Bayly a good dose of 180-degree twisties that tested both the skills of the rider and the ability of the bike.

Again, Italy is really, really pretty.

Italy is pretty.

Be prepared to have your legs tucked up in a racers crouch, and your family jewels, if you are of the male persuasion, spending their day making out with the front of the tank though.

From its red trellis frame and swingarm to its angular tank and mimimalist front fairing, the 2007 DB6 Delirio is the lastest in Italian engineering artistry from Bimota.

You won't find the trellis swingarm design from the Derlio on another machine.

The instrumentation on the Bimota is small, and the digital speedometer is not the easiest thing to read on the move. The big white-faced tachometer is beautiful though, and it was fun to watch the needle racing around toward redline without having to pay much regard to the speed.

Featuring twin 320mm rotors and four-piston radical calipers, all supplied by Brembo, the stopping power available is superb.

Bimota strives to provide quality craftsmanship in a limited production, hand-made motorcycle.

Sergio Robbiano's swingarm design for the Delirio uses an amalgamation of thin tubular sections mated to an alloy plate.

Posing the Bimota Delirio in front of the yachts at San Marino makes sense, as the $30,000 pricetag means owners most likely have a yacht of their own!

The Delirio sits dockside in San Marino. Not many of the exclusive machines will make the boat ride over to the States, but those able to bankroll the $30,000 MSRP will have an honest to goodness piece of European luxury.

Peak power is around 90 Italian stallions at 9,000 rpm, with a peak torque figure of 70 arriving at 6000 rpm.

The ergos on the 2007 DB6 Delirio had Bayly tucked in a tight racer's crouch but the foot pegs were less than accomodating for his size 10s.

A household name in Europe, Bimota motorcycles are not so widely known here in the States.
