VEHICLE REVIEW
2009 Bimota DB6 Delirio, Sport Naked – The DB6 Delirio
Raised handlebars and a comfortable upright riding position combine with Bimota signature ultra light weight and sport riding prowess, make the DB6 the perfect sport bike for everyday. Bimota offers two versions of its sport naked model – the award winning DB6, and its high performance partner, the DB6R.
Bimota DB6, This year’s EICMA event was the first appearance of two new exciting colors for the Design Achievement Award winning DB6 – a striking blue and white version, a favorite of Bimota designer Enrico Borghesan, plus an elegant offering of the subdued color combination of orange and cream. Bimota DB6R, The high performance DB6R returns in the classic Team Bimota colors of red, white and black. Sporting no less than 12 different all carbon fiber body components, a top of the line Brembo braking system with radial controls, an Extreme Tech rear shock and steering damper, exclusive ultra-light Bimota wheels and a racing ‘slipper clutch’, that are normally expensive racing upgrades, are fitted as standard equipment.
STANDARD FEATURES
After the initial presentation of the DB6 Delirio at the Motorshow in Milano, Italy, in November 2005, the reactions of visitors and special-interest media alike destined the concept for production, ideally in the shortest time possible. Today the DB6 Delirio presents itself as thoroughbred Bimota: The result of intensive technical research, engineered to the highest quality standards, composed to capture emotion by both its static appearance as well as its dynamic experience.
The DB6 Delirio is based upon the DB5's frame and swing-arm, utilizing the same power-plant - the only technical elements these two motorcycles share.
Components of the DB6 Delirio remain top of the line, manufactured to the Bimota ideology of perfection and style. The aluminum plates located at the lower end of the main frame and the back end of the swing-arm have been re-designed to appear even lighter and convey an even slimmer line of the motorcycle. Further enhancing the appearance and performance of the DB6 Delirio are the exclusive steering plates, solidly embracing the 50mm Marzocchi forks. Completing the rolling chassis of the DB6 is the powerful Brembo radial braking system with its uniquely shaped rotors.
The DB6 Delirio's frontal view, the face of the motorcycle, is defined by its exclusive headlight assembly, integrating the turn signals and the dashboard which is dominated by a distinctive rev-counter.
The handlebars, like the complete seating position, put the rider in full control over the DB6 Delirio at any time, providing an outstanding experience and the sensation of dominating the road.
The tank has been designed to be narrow at knee-hight, widening just above the rider's legs. While adding to the unique line of the DB6 Delirio, this design provides a perfect combination of tank-volume and rider-control.
Just like on its counterpart, the DB5, the DB6 Delirio's rider footrests can be adjusted in three positions. Also the upper control levers, brake and clutch, can be adjusted to each riders specific needs and comfort.
With a seat hight of 800mm and a weight of just 170kg, the DB6 Delirio is a motorcycle fitting shorter riders comfortably while providing enough space and leverage for taller riders, without any compromise to control and handling for any size rider.
All elements of the DB6 Delirio are characterized by two main aspects: They compliment the motorcycle's exclusive and unique design line, while providing their respectively desired functionality. The passengers aluminum footrests and their supports reflect the trellis concept of the DB6 Delirio's framework. In combination with the well padded seat, the passenger will experience a far more comfortable position than on most naked bikes on the market today. Also the rider has a more comfortable position, leaning only slightly forward over the tank. The triangle shaped mufflers, complying with EU emission limit according to EURO3, are placed under the seat, following the motorcycles slim silhouette. Specially designed air intakes provide cooling to the muffler itself and prevent warming of the passenger seat.
Negative acceleration on both wheels is provided by powerful Brembo calipers embracing the distinctively shaped rotors.
The DB6 Delirio's performance, powerful engine, light weight, and exclusive components, assembled to the highest standards, elevate this Bimota motorcycle above the known world of naked-bikes.
