- Chad didn't just get to ride the Bimota Tesi H2 around Modena, but they also let him out on the KB4. Engine straight from The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX, loads of carbon and a £30K price tag.
I really like the look of this bike. it's so unique. It looks retró and futuristic at the same time 👍
The fact that the mechanical pieces are all Kawasaki got me good and the looks is great…welldone Bimota a bike nothing canned like.
When you see that ultra impressive b inscription in various places including the top yoke, you know it oozes in quality with a sting in the tail!
I am hooked on this Bimota content, I hope you guys cover the dirt bike as well.
It’s cool. I like all the modern / retro bikes coming through. Something a bit different 👍🏻
Sounds like an awesome combination of torque/power, chassis dimensions and light weight - shame I'll never get to ride one! 😭
I hated it at first but grown to love it. What a bike for the road, loads of usable power low down with the weight of a 600. Just need a clip of the Arrows racing exhaust.
I feel like I shouldn’t but I love the looks of this bike. If I were to spend a lot on an Italian exotic, I’d get this. Perfect engine to actually take advantage of. Can’t take advantage of a V4R or RSV4 Factory or MV1000RR. Good stuff Bimota!!!
One word"what a beautiful machine" the technology and the colors. Everything.i like him greetings from 🇳🇱 HOLLAND.
Bike looks awesome. And nice shirt, Chad.
I love it. One of the things I miss about older superbikes is how much physically larger they are than new bikes, this bike has that girthy quality.
O boze dragi,prekrasna je,prekrasna!!!
Damn sounds like a Old Benelli Tornado Tre 1130 with the radiator under the seat, the Italians always design it better and cooler🥲👌🏾 I love it we get this and 2 New MV Agusta’s with similar styling
My weird dream garage:
23’ Bimota KB4
23’ Indian FTR Sport
23’ Moto Guzzi V85TT Travel
Mine :
Arch Moto Method 143
Ducati Superleggera V4
upcoming Bmw R1300GS Adventure (for travel and daily commute)
I think it looks great. I would love to see what they could do with a Tuono or an RSV4.
Probably not much.
This is the most beautiful bike I have ever seen!!!!! And I'm not even into sports.
you really sold me the machine. even if the look is not my thing i d throw 30 k without half the remorse i would have on a ducati.
Looks retro while still also looking modern and not like a gimmick.
I also like the Japanese powerplant which should help a great deal in longterm ownership costs. It's sad that the engines are just such boring flat plane I4's. I'd love to see the crossplane R1 engine in this bike for some added character.
This engine with the weight of a 600 must be amazing to ride
Love the retro look of that bike
I ❤️❤️❤️ it!
I can't wait to see the 2025 Bimota - Kawasaki World Superbike!
Looks great; aside from the side panels near the seat unit especially in the dark panel color vs matching white body color
I immediately hated the looks, but they grew on my as the video went on. Definitely reminds me of the old YB4 and Vdue!
Why not use the ZX10R engine?
This is very Bimota. On paper it doesn’t make sense (if you don’t get the Bimota thing), and It gets us talking. Not for me, but I applaud its originality and that it exists none the less.
Absolutly incredible bike. Love it. Will def. try to get one😀
Super belle machine...! 🤤🤤🤤🤤❤️💞
Excellent 👍
I think it looks absolutely spectacular. I wish I had the money.
80's reimagined bike is what I was waiting for the whole time, finally it's here and it looks awesome; even though I won't be able to afford it 😅
Like every BiMoTa and Italian bikes in general the true beauty shines in its details.
The only thing I'm questioning is, why didn't they fit the zx10 engine in ?
Yeah? Can anyone answer this?
@@wanderlpnw I would imagine the 1000SX engine is half the price.
For the torque in the low rev'... 😉
Great review thank you. Great informative style 👍
I love Bimotas. Db1 bd2 yb5 . Kb1 Tessi1d and yb8 are some of the most stunning machines to name a few but I’m afraid this one really misses the mark visually.
Reminds me of the original KB1, with that styling.
It looks like something I drew in class back in the 90's
I want to love it but that mid shape down its side is 100% an upside down banana and I can't unsee it.
If it were a smooth angle without an odd upward twist towards the front it'd be bang on!
this looks absolutely gorgeous
Beautiful.
Looking forward to seeing it for myself too👍
Agreed, I could not build one myself, but am I the only one who thinks that we are stuck in the ‘ugly age’ of biking 3:03 ? Only my perspective, I’m not out to wind anyone up.
Looks like a caricature of something from the 60’s/70’s.
Adrian Morton designed the Tornado with a radiator under the seat, it look allot slimmer than this bike, this bike is allot lighter that that was.
Cyclops that thing is modern retro af
Retro design of the bike looks great, but Bimota could have used the engine from zx10r insted of 1000sx
I like it.
Just the seat - not sure why the tan colour but still a classy looking machine.
Looks like Stevie Wonder built it in the dark with handcuffs on
Initially, I thought it was a bit Marmite but by the end I quite like it apart from the ‘specimen jar’ brake reservoir which always gets me. Pricey though…
The bikes awesome too
I think I'd rather have a KB-2 laser TT-100. You know with the GPZ 550 engine in it. Yanked the 16-in and put 17 in radial wide wheels on it,
TZ-250 handling, via the 52-in wheelbase, and the 22° of steering head rake. Yes I would ditch the 40,mm quick release front suspension. To something inverted. But having constant chain tension, anywhere in my suspension,
Should spoil you. All carbon fiber pieces, with a few tweaks, it's track day King.
Quite the looker.
Bike is fine as well
yum yum drooling like homer simpson🤤🤤🤤
I love it.
Boy Chris really let himself go. No wonder he kept his hat on with that ponytail all these years
It doesn't matter, one will never be seen out in the wild anyway with a £30k asking price.
Nice review though.
similary priced to Ducatis...
Fab bike and review 👌
Love it...
13' panigale R is less weight and smaller than a 13' gsxr 600
Plus 205hp but like 185-195 at the rear wheel
Now that is an oddball motorcycle! Would love to meet the individual who decided to spend their 30k on that creation! Neither bike nor prospective owner could be accused of being "cookie cutter"..
So does Bimota now only build bikes with Kawasaki underpinnings? If so, I can't wait for the zx10 version
Dealer network? Best!
I love it
#livingroomart
What sucks is, now you will never see an Italian engine in a Bimota again, only Kawasaki
There’s no belly pan. That is a little different for a fully faired bike.
Sounds amazing although, to my eyes, not Bimota's prettiest bike.
Name of the tune and artist please. Almost forgot (mesmerised by the tune), the bike is indeed a bargain considering the engineering that goes into the bike.
Is it me or does the round headlight ruin the look of the bike? Otherwise its awesome
I prefer the song that you put in the bachground than the bike. By the way, what is the name of the artist and the song that you used?
It's library music, the bike doesn't sound that great.
Hey “CRISS” when will be the bext video will come on carwow Vs bikeworld ❤️🔥
And can give which bike is next on carwow against matt😁
I don’t understand why they wouldn’t use the engine from the ZX10R
Sweet! I suppose there are fans to deal with radiator heat when not moving at a good pace?
Haha that provides thrust in the direction of translation for added backyard tunning. (There has to be one)
The static bike had a horrible exhaust.The bike on track looked much better😍
It's a heffa, but I like it 😄
It looks very other like all bike from Bimota i like them in the 80/90 there built the best bike in handling,there dont shake in high speed like the other bikes,you can buy in this time,but the price are allways high,this bike here i dont now how it ride?! but first the Monster big exauhst musst be change to a small one!! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany
You could buy two of them for one H2 Tesi.
Not for me , it looks as if they've taken the best bikes of the last ten years and slapped them all together.
And what's with the massive round headlight?
cost 30k, ok, do you ever considered that will value 30k and more in 2 years like every bimota?
30K ? So in the price league of : M1000RR, R1M (also carbon), V4SP2, RSV4, way better bikes with better components than the KB4.
The 1000SX costs 12k, no way there is for 18k worth of materials on the KB4.
It's 5k too high mostly because of the Bimota name. They would sell more at 25k.
And the potential upcoming Yamaha R9 at around 15k would make the KB4 near obsolete in the near same power near same weight category but for half the price.
And for the KB4 retro looks you get the 10k cheaper and better looking more powerful Speed Triple 1200 RR (also a better bike and with Öhlins electronic suspension).
ill forgive the price
I am watching the video and the bike looks awesome, muscled and big, and I am thinking, this might actually feel nice to ride. I am imagining myself on it and not cramped up like all the latest sportbikes, and for a few seconds I feel happy.
And then Chad is like : "dimensions of a 600", like that is a good thing.
Why Chad, why are you doing this? :(
because then its nimble and light?
Now make a 150cc version of this and it can beat the like of yamaha r15 🤟
Nice bike, but whats that horrid piece of black plastic along the side.
No cycle sound, LOL.
I'd trade my RC8 in for it.
yes you pay v4s with race kit money for a reskin kawasaki z1000 what a steal should based it on a v2 or a mv f800 if i want a japanese inline 4 i will get a japanese inline 4.
Reminds me of Honda’s CB1100R from the 80’s. Which is strange, because I like the Honda but I don’t like that Bimota. Nah, not for me.
Looks like it’s been styled by a car designer…..😂🙈🇬🇧
Looks a lot less dorky than the Tesi H2 version, but still too fat and dorky for the price...
Okay let's all be honest. I bet everyone thought the bike was based off the Triumph speed triple 1200 RR at first glance
A ten pinter
I was going to buy one of these but that baby poo brown seat put me off... actually i probably wouldn't be able to afford the seat.
Now you pay more and they make it unreliable 😂
I owned a Bimota YB10 Diecj in the early 90's, it was beautiful. The KB4 is pig ugly & that's an
insult to a pig, got to be the most hideous looking Bimota ever made & that includes the Mantra.
I love bimota but that thing is fugly on a new level
Zx10 motor
Got to be honest but not a fan of the looks
Would you take this or the Hayabusa?
@@Christian-xc9bh I’d take a Hayabusa over looks myself
for a 1000cc with160kg with at least 140hp i dont care about esthetics... my bandit is 220kg for 100hp engine
Well it looks excellent to me 1980s GP bike style
Looks are ok but i think its the color scheme throwing it off. Maybe a solid color with subtle 2nd color would change it up dramatically
How can you pay this much for a motorbike and still get these god awful massive indicators from the 1990s
It looks like something that has just melted into a lump of... something. The Triumph Speed Triple 1200RR is a way more successful design where they fusion old with new. This Bimota thing just looks like a soggy mess in comparison in my eyes.
