With the new Bimota KB998 Rimini, a revolution in the aerodynamics of superbikes could be imminent.  For the first time, Bimota is using an adaptive wing concept in which winglets automatically adjust their position depending on the riding situation in order to optimize aerodynamics.  The aim is to maximize downforce depending on the situation – for example during acceleration to avoid wheelies or when braking to keep the front stable on the road.  On long straights, on the other hand, the winglets are designed to minimize drag in order to increase top speed.

After the merger between Kawasaki and Bimota, two models have already been released, the Tesi H2 and the KB4. Now Bimota has announced a new project.

After the merger of Bimota and Kawasaki, the Tesi H2 was the first to be developed. Now a new version is to follow with the “Crossover”.

After Kawasaki took over 49% of the traditional brand, the Bimota KB4 will be the second model they will produce in series. Now a picture is making the rounds on the internet that is said to show the KB4 in final form.

In general, the Tesi 3D is an unusual and rare motorcycle. Its peculiarity is the double swingarm arrangement with the axle steering at the front.

Shortly after the Tesi H2 the KB4 was also announced. These are the first Bimota models after the merger with Kawasaki.

Bimota has published the first pictures of the finalized Tesi H2. Until recently the PS monster was still being worked on and the tests are now completed.

As Bimota has announced, the production of the Tesi H2 has started. The model will be available for pre-order soon.

The Italian sports motorcycle with technology from the Kawasaki H2 is scheduled to go into production in September. It is currently being tested on various racetracks in Europe.

Bimota has released a video on YouTube in which the upcoming Tesi H2 shows what it can do on the racetrack. Unfortunately, the view is very limited.

Only recently, very blurry photos of the Bimota KB4 appeared, which at least showed that the motorcycle is really being worked on. Now a model has been sighted in the wild.

Bimota already announced the KB4 with a video in November 2019. Now they have published the first teaser pictures, which deliberately show little.

After the merger of Kawasaki and Bimota, the first joint project was presented at the Eicma, the Tesi H2. It is based on the Kawasaki H2, but is equipped with the steering knuckle of the Tesi models.
