Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a boutique Italian exotic best suited to experienced riders who understand light, quick-steering trellis-framed machines and Ducati's L-twin character.
PurposeBuilt as a low-volume, hand-finished naked streetfighter for spirited backroad and canyon riding rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 800mm seat height and featherweight 177kg chassis make it manageable for shorter riders, though the aggressive geometry and firm suspension reward an active riding style.
CharacterDelivers a raw, mechanical, torquey V-twin experience wrapped in rare hand-built Bimota engineering, with sharp steering and premium chassis components.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking plush comfort, pillion practicality, off-road capability, or easy mainstream serviceability.

2011 Bimota DB6 Delirio Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Bimota DB6 Delirio, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
