Bimota DB5 - First Glimpse At Latest Motorcycle Prototype
.


.
The first glimpses of the prototypes for Bimota's latest motorcycle development project, the DB5, have been seen powering around the back streets of the companies home town Rimini, Italy.

The feedback coming from the factory is that the handling of the bike has already proven to be superb and in perfect balance with the DB5's available power, generated by the Ducati 992cc engine.

The DB5 project, the first new model by the famous Italian brand after slightly more than four years and initially presented at Munich Intermot in late 2004, is set to continue the great heritage of Bimota road bikes. The company's goal is to create machines that deliver the right feeling by generating superior power and delivering advanced performance for the normal rider, who wants to experience the total motorcycle concept.

There has been no word on a finalized date for production start or market launch of the DB5 yet, although earlier reports from Rimini project this to happen some time in 2005.
