Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, quick-steering chassis and a demanding riding position.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique Italian sportbike, it's meant for spirited backroad carving and trackday-style cornering rather than raw top-speed bragging rights.
Rider FitThe low, compact 170kg chassis combined with an aggressive, forward-leaning stance demands an active, fit rider comfortable with weight on the wrists.
CharacterIt rewards precise inputs with razor-sharp handling, delivering the soulful pull of a Ducati L-twin wrapped in an exotic, hand-built chassis.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders seeking upright comfort, long-distance touring ease, or a forgiving, low-maintenance daily commuter.

2009 Bimota DB5R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Bimota DB5R, 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.
