bimota's KB998 Rimini was born from the single-minded pursuit of performance on the racetrack. Machine development took into account feedback from BbKRT and the team riders, making no compromises in accommodating their requirements. With its focus on achieving the perfect race machine, it can be said that the production model KB998 Rimini maintains the performance of the factory racer as is while allowing street-use.
The bimota-original chassis is comprised of a chromoly-steel trellis mated to billet aluminium plates. The swingarm, too, is made up of pieces machined from billet aluminium. Nestled in the frame is the same Ninja ZX-10RR engine that powered its way to seven Superbike World Championship titles. In addition, the engine position and rear suspension can be adjusted, allowing the chassis and centre of gravity to be fine-tuned to suit the characteristics of each circuit. Numerous components made from either dry carbon or billet aluminium contribute to light weight as well as functional beauty..
Each and every KB998 Rimini is a high-performance race-focused machine, built by hand by Italian craftsman, and an embodiment of bimota’s half-century racing philosophy.

With racing regulations becoming stricter every year, production model base performance becomes an increasingly important factor. For the Superbike World Championship, the Kawasaki WorldSBK Team is fielding a factory-prepped Ninja ZX-10RR machine. Even as a model in Kawasaki’s flagship supersport Ninja ZX-10R Series, the Ninja ZX-10RR stands out, having been developed with circuit performance and World Superbike victory in mind. Lightweight pistons, titanium connecting rods, fine-tuned suspension settings, and forged Marchesini wheels further elevate the standard model’s engine performance and handling. In compliance with the latest racing regulations, meticulous factory tuning sharpens the stock Ninja ZX-10RR into a championship-winning track weapon.
