presentation of the 900 DB4 1999
in Japan, an entry-level machine costs around 30,000 francs, is designed to be utilitarian or even playful, and generally rejects the technology of its larger, more prestigious siblings. For Bimota, the most affordable motorcycle remains a high-end product. Its engine, the Desmo 900 twin from the Ducati Monster and SS, is housed in an incredibly slender aluminum chassis.
If it's only fair on top speed (no way to reach 200), it will delight the rider with its muscular acceleration. Surprisingly agile, the bike takes full advantage of its homogeneous chassis.
