Bimota DB7 Oronero


Leave it to the futuristic bike like this to be  one of the few bikes that have built itself out of a carbon fiber frame. The frame geometry was complex enough that Bimota engineers hired BRBike, a Italian racing bike firm that specializes in making lightweight frames, to mold the frame geometry for this bike. The new chassis comes out to be 30 percent more tensional rigid work. The rest of the body work is also carbon fiber. This includes the gas tank, seat, and fairing. 

The engine in the bike is the Ducati 90-degree V-twin. This bike easily delivers double the power of a 600 class bike with no extra weight. This is just scary fast. No need to feather the clutch to get a wheelie out of this bike, it will probably do it on its own. 

This engineering comes down to a incredibly surefooted and responsive bike that you can throttle out of turns earlier with great agility and stability, creating a feeling that you can do anything on this thing. This bike seems like it could put the amateurs ahead. But this one doesn’t come cheap though. Starting at 40,000 dollars you are paying for what you get but this is a definitely a dream bike.
