April 9, 2025; Manila, Philippines- Unveiled for the first time during the 2024 EICMA motorcycle show, the revolution continues on Philippine soil with the official launch of bimota’s latest machine, the bimota KB998 Rimini!
Powered by Kawasaki’s formidable Ninja ZX-10RR engine, and supported by an agile chassis created by bimota, the KB998 Rimini is the official entry by the bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team (BbKRT) for the World Superbike series, which opened last February 21-23, 2025 with the first round at Philip Island, Australia
The KB998 Rimini gets its name from the city that birthed it – Rimini, Italy – where bimota hails from, and where their current workshop is located. What sets the KB998 Rimini apart from the other race bikes competing in the WorldSBK series is that while bimota has fulfilled the mass production requirements of the WorldSBK homologation, it retains its original nature of innovation and hand-crafted quality by ensuring that each of the units built for retail customers were hand assembled in the Rimini workshop and is the product of one technician from start to end.
In the Philippines, this beautiful machine will be displayed at the California Superbike School at Clark International Speedway on April 12-13, 2025. It will be available for retail purchase in time with the official availability in Europe starting April 9, 2025, through the country’s exclusive bimota dealer, Wheeltek Motor Sales Corporation.
