The 1997 MY Bimota DB3 Mantra is a powerful naked machine that also offers increased wind protection and thus, a higher level of comfort. It sports an air-cooled, four-stroke, 904cc, 90-degree V-Twin desmodromic powerhouse paired to a six-speed manual transmission that can produce a claimed 86 horsepower and 90 Nm of torque.
The key features for the Mantra would be the half-fairing with a windscreen, a digital and analogue instrumentation panel, a 43mm telescopic fork, an adjustable mono-shock as a rear suspension, a Brembo braking system with dual discs in the front, a single headlight, an under-belly dual exhaust system with dual mufflers, plus a dual seat.
