For 2008 Bimota presents the new and more aggressive version of our successful naked Delirio. The DB6R is even more agile and lighter than its sibling, and is propelled by the new powerful 1100 Ducati dry clutch engine.

Bimota Motorcycles, manufacturer of premium handcrafted Italian sport motorcycles, confirmed its renewed commitment to the specialised motorcycle segment with the addition of industry veteran Dan Van Epps in a leadership role in the company. The appointment was made late last year.

“Since the rebirth of Bimota in 2003,” says company Chairman Roberto Comini, “we have focused on product development. Now we are ready to aggressively position ourselves in the global market, partnering with the best dealers and distributors worldwide. Dan’s depth of knowledge in this business and international experience are a perfect fit for the needs of our company”.

Since his youth and for more than 30 years, Van Epps has worked in the motorcycle industry. His background includes great brands such as Ducati and Husqvarna. From his technical beginnings and racing motorcycles he rose to positions that include head of U.S. operations for Ducati, and on to Ducati’s European headquarters in Bologna Italy as Senior Manager of Product Development and Director of Product Marketing.

“Bimota Motorcycles are so impressive when you look at the details," Van Epps noted. “In my experience, in terms of fit and finish and quality, no other motorcycle compares. Add the great engines we use from Ducati, and Bimota makes and offer of a premium handcrafted bike that is really quite unique and unrivalled in this industry. It’s really exciting to work with the impressive team here at Bimota to elevate to the company to the next level”.
