Here’s a concise update on the latest Bimota news up to now.
- Bimota has been periodicaly linked with a return to WorldSBK in 2025, including a collaboration with Kawasaki Racing Team to field a Bimota chassis with Kawasaki engines. This marks a notable shift in their racing program and brand revival efforts.[3]
- The company has released and promoted racing-focused content around the KB998 Rimini project, including behind-the-scenes looks and a documentary series that covers engineering and development phases ahead of a WorldSBK debut.[4]
- Official press and news channels (BbKRT and Bimota-KRT related sites) have continued to publish race results, testing updates, and announcements tied to the WorldSBK program, signaling ongoing activity despite historical ownership and production changes.[6]
- Historical coverage notes that Bimota faced closures and restructuring in the past, with various cycles of factory activity and ownership changes affecting parts supply and customer support, though recent sources emphasize a renewed racing and brand presence.[5][7][8]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to:
- Specific 2025–2026 WorldSBK activities and race results
- Details on the KB998 Rimini program and its technical specs
- Current official sources and press releases for the BbKRT collaboration
Would you like me to focus on one of these areas or provide a brief timeline of key events?
