When you think Bimota, chances are images of boutique and bespoke high-performance bikes come to mind. Bikes like the Tesi H2, with its otherworldly styling, have pretty much come to define Bimota in the modern era. But recently, Bimota has sort of undergone a renaissance, as it entered the spotlight of mainstream motorcycle racing.
That’s right, not too long ago, it was announced that the Kawasaki Racing Team, or KRT, in the WorldSBK was transforming into the Bimota Racing Team, or Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team (BbRT) to be precise.
Surely, Bimota wasn’t going to settle for merely slapping on a fancy livery to the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR—a motorcycle manufacturer of its stature would surely need to field its own racing machine. And so Bimota and Kawasaki decided to build an all-new machine—a bike that combines the best the two manufacturers have to offer.
