Bimota has just introduced the 2010 DB8 Biposto superbike, a serious performance machine with cheaper components to keep the price lower and attract more buyers.
This Christian Audigier limited edition variation of the Ducati Monster 1100 comes with an Ohlins front suspension, Ohlins TTX rear suspension, BST carbon fiber wheels, Rizoma controls, magnesium engine cases, performance cam shafts, an STM slipper clutch and a full Termignoni exhaust system. All of these weight reducing and performance boosting measures bump horsepower up to 110hp.
