The KB998 marks Bimota’s return to the superbike scene with a machine designed for the track yet approved for street use. The project comes from the partnership with Kawasaki and focuses on a refined chassis, extreme aerodynamics and top-shelf components.
This is not a bike for everyone: the philosophy remains that of an exclusive model, built for riders who want character, image and true racer-level performance. For Italian enthusiasts, it is a heavyweight name that combines craftsmanship and technology in a niche product.
