Italian motorcycles have a certain flair that sets them apart from the crowd. They blend style, performance, and heritage in a way that few other bikes can match.

The Bimota KB4RC Cafe Racer Will Go On Sale March 25

The Bimota KB4RC is proof the company never does anything boring—part cafe racer art, part engineering flex, and entirely lust-worthy.

The Bimota machine is a cocktail of Italian craftsmanship and Japanese muscle, blending a hand-assembled chassis with Kawasaki’s snarling 1,043cc inline-four. That’s 140 horses wrapped in a lightweight frame, tuned not just for speed but for sheer riding pleasure.

Bimota Roars Back into World Superbike with Kawasaki Power

It’s been a long time since Bimota last danced with the World Superbike Championship, but the Italian marque is back, draped in Kawasaki green and ready to take another crack at glory.

The Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team unveiled its 2025 colors, marking the company’s first return to the series since 2014.

Check Out This 1996 Bimota DB3 Mantra That’s For Sale

Some motorcycles are born to turn heads, and the 1996 Bimota DB3 Mantra does it with flair. Draped in Sacha Lakic’s avant-garde design, this yellow-and-black beauty is as much art as it is machine.

Beneath its bold carbon-fiber-accented skin lies Ducati’s renowned 904cc L-Twin, delivering 86 horsepower and 66 lb-ft of torque through a six-speed transmission. Dual Mikuni carburetors, a two-into-four exhaust, and electronic ignition ensure that this Italian gem is as lively as it looks.

Check Out the 2025 Bimota KB998 Rimini

Bimota has pulled back the silk on its KB998 Rimini—a snarling race-bred creation distilled just enough to slip through the tight hoops of FIM homologation. “Production” feels almost too generous a term.

Bimota plans a mere 125 units by February 2025, another 125 by year’s end, with a final push to 500 by the close of 2026. Call it a tightrope act, but if they hit the mark, this Italian beast, which was briefly shown before, will grace the World Superbike grid.

The First Glimpse of the Bimota KB998 Superbike

Bimota just unveiled the KB998 Superbike—a stunning blend of Italian finesse and Japanese brawn—set to debut at Jerez. This beauty packs Kawasaki’s potent 998cc engine, borrowed from the ZX-10RR, and nestles it into a sleek Bimota frame. The result? A race-ready missile for the 2025 World Superbike Championship, with Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani at the helm.
