Rider Profile

Best For	This bike demands an experienced, confident rider comfortable with a race-focused, exotic Italian V-twin superbike.
Purpose	Built as a boutique, hand-crafted track and canyon weapon, prioritizing razor-sharp handling and outright performance over practicality.
Rider Fit	The aggressive clip-on riding position, high footpegs, and firm suspension will strain the wrists, shoulders, and back on anything but short, spirited rides.
Character	A rare, exclusive Bimota with a featherweight chassis and punchy V2 engine, rewarding precise, committed riding with exceptional cornering feedback.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for new riders, commuters, long-distance tourers, or anyone seeking comfort, passenger accommodation, or off-road capability.

Units

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 2001 Bimota SB 8 R, 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.
