Tokyo Motorcycle Show – Bimota DB8 Oronero CR
A quick rundown of the coolest Machines we saw at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show
IT’S hard to imagine how you could improve on a Bimota, yet somehow tuning house, Moto Corse has done just that with this stunning DB8.
With 170hp on tap and a kerb weight of just 159kg, the standard DB8 Oronero is one of the sweetest handling machines on the planet. Add to that the additions that Moto Corse has included – full carbon fairings, BST carbon wheels, carbon brake rotors, carbon fuel tank, seat, subframe, and billet aluminium everything, the prospect of hammering around a race track on this thing is mouth-watering.
It would also be eyewatering if you were to drop the thing – its price tag ¥13m equates to over £80,000. That’s double the price tag of the standard bike!
