Rider Profile

Best For	This is a machine for experienced, skilled riders who are comfortable with a fast-reacting, high-performance sportbike.
Purpose	Built primarily for aggressive sport riding and trackday-style performance rather than everyday practicality.
Rider Fit	A committed, forward-leaning riding position and firm suspension demand decent fitness and tolerance for wrist and wrist/back strain over distance.
Character	A boutique Italian exotic that pairs a powerful Yamaha-derived engine with a lightweight, race-honed chassis for razor-sharp handling.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for new riders, tall touring distances, passenger comfort, or any off-road use.

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1997 Bimota YB11, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
