The KB4’s unusual looks seem to divide opinion. I was unsure when I first saw it in pictures but now I’ve seen it in the flesh and witnessed the engineering and quality finish up close, I have grown to like it. It’s certainly different and bold, and it looks like a £30,000 bike. The engineering and attention to detail are to be applauded.

Dynamically, there’s a lot to praise. The handling is light and easy, it works superbly on track, and should transfer its easy ability to the road. It’s fun to ride – anything but overwhelming – and the chassis and suspension transmit masses of feel and security to the rider. That smooth and torquey Kawasaki 1000SX motor feels completely at home in the Bimota, too.

At times on the track, it was all too easy to think of the KB4 as an all-out sports bike, but the riding position is relatively relaxed, and it hasn’t just been designed to work on track. It will be interesting to see if this new “”sports tourer”” is as good at touring as it is at sports riding.
