Bimota DB6 Delirio
DB6 DELERIO: In the world of “naked bikes,” the Delerio is the ultimate nudist experience. A stone cold gorgeous machine with sculpted parts so perfectly made it would impress Di Vinci himself. All other “nakeds,” from the venerable Ducati Monster S4 RS to the MV Agusta Brutale must bow before this exquisite creation.
Powered by the Ducati 1000 DS motor, ultra slim trellis frame and top shelf suspension and brake bits, the Delerio will no doubt be a bike any sophisticated buyer will point at and just say “I want it!” And at $29,500.00 it could be considered a “bargain” for the Bimota family.
“The Delerio is without doubt the bike of our future,” proudly proclaimed Rousseau. “It amplifies ‘Technology del Emozione’. You cannot stand before this motorcycle and not immediately fall in love with it,” continued Bimota’s North American President.
An ’07 model offering, the Delerio will remain on display at SLMS, and one can be ordered for a longing client. While it will be a difficult bike to deliver, SLMS will be able to corral 3-4 Delerios over the coming year. As all Bimotas, the Delerio must be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated.
With the Delirio, Bimota has once more reached an important milestone: surpassing themselves with yet another genuine Bimota motorcycle!
The Bimota Delirio is sure to spark great sensations, emotions, and excitement. From its early beginnings, the Delirio project has been conceived as the creation of a piece of art, and as a challenge to all conventions. Delirio is a motorcycle that gives new value to the company's rich heritage, and traditions. The goal has been to realize a Bimota for the future, presenting engineers, designers and everybody involved with an equally exciting and challenging task. Once again in Bimota's history, the result has been shaped by passion, imagination, and extraordinary craftsmanship.
From Sergio Robbiano's pencil to Alberto Strada's computer to Enrico Borghesan's golden hands and the minds, soulds and hands of all at Bimota, the Delirio has become a reality. The Delirio delivers outstanding performance, engine and framework, complimented by an agressive but comfortable riding position.
