| Bimota's profilation of this bike |
| The DB8 Italia was created to deal with mixed fast tracks, natural terrain for the sporty rider. Ergonomic driving position and with all the support necessary in the curve is the first feature you notice going on a DB8. Agile in changing direction, Bimota DB8 is burning while going out of curves, thanks to the restrained weight and the work of engineers who have optimized the delivery of the already muscular twin-cylinder engine. |
