Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a boutique Italian exotic best suited to experienced riders who already understand V-twin power delivery and want a raw, unfiltered machine rather than a first bike.
PurposeIt's built for spirited backroad carving and trackday-style cornering thrills rather than commuting or hauling luggage.
Rider FitThe low, compact stance and light dry weight make it easy to muscle through direction changes, though the firm suspension and minimal wind protection demand a fit, engaged rider.
CharacterThe Delirio RE is a low-volume Bimota special with a hand-built chassis wrapped around a torquey Ducati desmodromic V-twin, prized for its exclusivity and razor-sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders wanting a comfortable long-distance tourer, a practical daily commuter, or anyone seeking easy, low-maintenance ownership.

2013 Bimota DB6 Delirio RE 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 2013 Bimota DB6 Delirio RE, 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.
