Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who appreciate a characterful, single-cylinder supermono and its demanding, feedback-rich power delivery.
Purpose	Built as a lightweight, exotic sport bike focused on razor-sharp handling and pure cornering feel rather than outright top speed.
Rider Fit	Its low dry weight and compact dimensions make it easy to muscle around, though the firm suspension and sporty ergonomics reward a fit, engaged rider.
Character	A boutique Italian single with a thumping, torquey engine character and go-kart-like agility that prioritizes sensation over raw numbers.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting high-speed touring comfort, pillion capability, or off-road versatility.

Units

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Bimota BB 1, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
