Bimota is making a strong comeback to the market under Kawasaki’s management and is set to introduce a special and exclusive roadster – the KB4RC.
The Italian manufacturer showcased this model last weekend at the Osaka Motorcycle Show, and according to SoyMotero, it will be officially launched on April 19 – just before Easter. The price is expected to be around €30,000.
It’s a somewhat expensive roadster, but the cost is justified by its specifications, components, and materials. The bike features a four-cylinder, 1,043cc engine, capable of delivering an impressive 142 hp and 111 Nm of torque.
The KB4RC is equipped with Öhlins suspension, Brembo brakes, a tubular steel frame, an aluminum swingarm, and OZ aluminum wheels. The chassis includes carbon fiber finishes, and the seat is upholstered in genuine leather. Each unit will be hand-assembled and painted by Italian artisans.
In terms of design, Bimota describes the KB4RC as a Race Cafe. It carries the essence of a cafe racer but also integrates MotoGP elements, with aerodynamic, aggressive, and sculpted lines. A large #4 is prominently displayed on the sides.
