| Bimota's profilation of this bike |
| This superbike dares true motorcyclists to get close and indulge in its details. The beauty and drama of the DB8 at a distance is surpassed only by its detail. Each and every assembly, fastener and chassis component is elegantly fashioned and manufactured with care using advanced materials. From billet machined sub-frames, footrests and control levers, no compromise was ever considered nor made. |
