Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced, committed riders who understand high-strung Italian exotics and demand full attention from the throttle to the footpegs.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive sport riding and canyon carving, where its hand-built chassis and race-derived engine can be exploited on fast, flowing roads or trackdays.
Rider FitExpect a committed, wrist-and-knee-loading riding position with a firm seat and high footpegs that reward a fit, flexible rider over long stints.
CharacterA boutique, exotic superbike that trades comfort and practicality for razor-sharp handling, exclusivity, and a raw connection to the road.
Not Ideal ForNot for new riders, commuters wanting comfort, or anyone hoping to carry a passenger or luggage on long tours.

2001 Bimota YB 11 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Bimota YB 11, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
