Bimota DB11 VLX
Bimota is known for making some exquisite machines by taking
production motors from other OEMs, and wrapping those engines in frames of
Italian companys own design. Art on two wheels, Bimota rarely strays from this
formula, though when it does, something interesting usually happens.
A full-fairing machine with a
Ducati Testastretta 11° engine at it core, what is really interesting about the
VLX version of the DB11 is the supercharger that lurks underneath the fairings.
The Bimota DB11 VLX makes an impressive 188hp with an even more impressive 105
lbsft of torque, compared to the more reasonable 160hp of the base model
.
That ludicrous amount of power is due to a
,
which has been further modified by Bimotas engineering team. Brakes are Brembo
monoblocs, while the suspension is by Öhlins, both front and rear. The exhaust
is made by Athena, but designed in-house by Bimota. The 2013 Bimota DB11 VLX
tips the scales at 394 lbs dry.
