2011 Bimota DB7 Overview

For 2011, Bimota offers the DB7 as a sport motorcycle with 1099 cc on tap. The 2011 Bimota DB7 is built around a Four stroke, 90°°L°twin cylinder, SOHC, desmodromic 4 valve per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 12.5:1. Out on the road, the DB7 delivers 118 kW @ 9750 rpm of peak power and 123 Nm @ 8000 rpm of torque. Flat out, it's quoted at 260 km/h. In everyday use, the 2011 DB7 tips the scales at 172 kg, carries a 16-litre fuel tank and offers a seat height of 800 mm. That's roughly 30.7 kg lighter than the average sport motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2011 Bimota DB7 spec sheet below.

2011 DB7 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: Peak output on the DB7 is 118 kW @ 9750 rpm and 123 Nm @ 8000 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.

Considerations

Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the DB7 comes from Electrically controlled gasoline injection and φ60mm throttle body. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Brake disc and pad wear

2x 320mm / 12.6 in. discs 4 piston caliper up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by 43mm Marzocchi UD fork DLC fully adjustable, 120mm wheel travel up front and Extreme Tech Monoshock TTX fully adjustable low/high speed, 120mm wheel travel at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Chain final drive on the DB7 means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.

DB7 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2011 Bimota DB7 should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept DB7 settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a DB7's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the DB7's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
