Derbi has unveiled details on the limited edition Mulhacén Café 659 Angel Nieto, a bike dedicated to the “12+1 World Champion” Angel Nieto, the man who contributed the most to make the Derbi brand famous in the racing world.
This special bike features a fire red lower section with a black horizontal band extending the entire length of the motorcycle in pure Seventies racing style. The bike rides on 17-inch alloy rims and features impressive 320 mm rear brake with Brembo radial caliper and the backlit digital instrument panel are the proof of the attention with which this new model was planned and created.
Powering the Mulhacen Cafe 659 is a Yamaha-Minarelli single-cylinder four-valve 659-cc engine, which is accompanied by a steel tube frame with aluminum swingarm and the refined progressive linkage on which the original adjustable lateral mono shock absorber operates.
The ergonomics of the motorcycle have been carefully reworked for the street, and now offer a more comfortable ride for both driver and passenger making it also suitable for long distance riding.
The new 2011 Mulhacen Cafe 659 Angel Nieto LE be available on the European market as a limited edition, priced at EUR6,249 (US$8,333 at the current exchange rate).
