Bimota
Delirio DB6 1000
Just minutes ago we got the exclusive on Bimota's new Delirio. As soon as I have finished the work on the rest of the pictures you will see them right here today. We also spoke to Sergio Robbiano, the designer of the bike and Alberto Strada, Technical manager in Bimota. Robbiano is very proud of the bike and were adjusting the lighting whilst we chatted. Robbiano has done all the drawings and we tell you this bike is a beauty. Alberto Strada told us the Delirio is a proper wheelie hooligan. Strada told us that the DB5 and DB6 chassis is only made for an engine with max 120bhp. But still there will be a tuning kit available for the Delirio some time next year. We'll see about that wheelie ability come spring time and the world launch. Strada also revealed that Bimota's next project will be a new four cylinder superbike. Again with a Japanese engine as we have seen from Bimota in the past. Strada favours the Suzuki GSX-R1000 engine, but will have to go with what Bimota can get. Either Honda CBR1000 RR, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R1000 or Yamaha R1. Any of them will do for me in a Bimota chassis. Strada mentioned this as a two year project.
