Founded in Rimini, Italy in 1973, the Bimota brand has become synonymous with groundbreaking engineering, handcrafted quality and a relentless pursuit of performance. Since 2020 we have seen exotic Bimotas under the Kawasaki umbrella at EICMA in Milan… However sightings of the Italian stallions in the United States have historically been limited to an occasional Cycle World cover back when the cycle world still had printed magazines. But now, with some help from Kawasaki USA and a dedicated dealer, Bimota is back on track.
Bimota is proud to announce the limited production availability of select models in the United States through the exclusive U.S. dealer, Bimota Spirit. Available models include the KB998 Rimini World Superbike race machine, the revolutionary Tesi H2 and Tesi H2 TERA, along with the distinctive KB4 and KB4RC. Each model represents Bimota’s continued commitment to delivering exceptional motorcycles with high-end performance and timeless Italian craftsmanship.
“For more than 50 years, Bimota has been designing emotions,” says Bob Steinbugler, founder and co-owner of Bimota Spirit, “And for the last 46 years, we at Bimota Spirit have been dedicated to collecting and preserving these emotions… we want to be one of the stewards of the ‘spirit’ of the company that built it.”
Today, through its partnership with Kawasaki, Bimota continues to push the boundaries of motorcycle design by combining Italian artistry and craftsmanship with Kawasaki’s world-renowned performance and engineering expertise.
“I have been an avid Bimota enthusiast since I began my relationship with the brand back in the late 1970s,” adds Steinbugler. “I started Bimota Spirit to share the vast amount of knowledge and experience that I have accumulated working with these exceptional machines and to offer my support to current and future owners of Bimota motorcycles.”
