Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine demands an experienced, skilled rider who is fully comfortable managing extreme power and razor-sharp handling.
PurposeBuilt as an exotic, low-volume Italian hypernaked for aggressive canyon carving and track-focused riding rather than daily commuting.
Rider FitExpect a committed, sporty riding posture with a firm seat and high-effort demands during hard acceleration and braking.
CharacterA rare, boutique, race-bred naked bike that pairs a fierce BMW-derived engine with exotic Bimota chassis craftsmanship for a visceral, exclusive riding experience.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for beginners, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a practical touring or passenger-friendly motorcycle.

2015 Bimota BB3 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 828mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2015 Bimota BB3, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
