2008 Bimota DB7 Black Edition[edit | edit source]

If you like the Bimota DB7, but also want an aggressive and dark look on your machine, than the 2008 MY DB7 Black Edition may suit your needs. It's innards and technologies are the same as the but model, but the Italian designers have blacked-out almost every component, which contrasts nicely with the bright red and white that covers its exposed frame parts.
