Bimota Kb4
The Bimota Kb4 has a top speed of ~240 km/h (estimated), produces 140 hp and weighs 189 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
Bimota KB4 được giới thiệu vào năm 2023, đại diện cho sự trở lại mang tính bước ngoặt đối với các máy chạy bằng Kawasaki cho nhà sản xuất boutique Ý sau khi Kawasaki mua lại 49% cổ phần của Bimota vào năm 2019. Được chế tạo xung quanh động cơ bốn dòng Kawasaki Z1000, KB4 đã hồi sinh dòng tên KB có từ KB1 huyền thoại năm 1978. Nó đáng chú ý vì kết hợp nghệ thuật khung gầm Ý được chế tạo thủ công của Bimota với động cơ đã được chứng minh của Kawasaki, cung cấp một sự thay thế độc quyền và nhẹ cho những chiếc siêu naken được sản xuất hàng loạt.

Những điều người mua nên biết
Kawasaki Heart, Bimota Soul
The KB4 uses Kawasaki's proven 1043cc inline-four engine from the Z1000, giving buyers access to a well-documented, reliable powerplant with widely available parts and service knowledge.
Extreme Rarity Holds Value
With very limited production numbers, the KB4 commands strong resale value and is unlikely to depreciate sharply — making it as much a collectible as a rider.
Specialist Servicing Required
Bimota's unique trellis frame and hub-center steering system require specialist knowledge to service correctly, so buyers should budget for experienced technicians and factor in limited local workshop availability.

Đánh giá người mua đã qua sử dụng
"An exotic gamble that rewards obsessive buyers with deep pockets."
$18,000-$28,000 usedThe KB4 is essentially a Kawasaki Z1000-engined exotic wearing bespoke Italian bodywork, and that's both its greatest strength and its most important caveat. You're getting that punchy 1043cc inline-four wrapped in Bimota's trademark trellis frame and hand-built aluminum bodywork — genuinely special stuff that turns heads like almost nothing else on the road. Ownership costs reflect that exclusivity brutally, so budget accordingly before you fall in love with the photos. Used examples are rare enough that condition varies wildly. Check the frame welds carefully — Bimota's small-batch production means quality control isn't Toyota-level. The Kawasaki drivetrain is bulletproof and parts are cheap, but anything Bimota-specific becomes an expensive phone call to specialists. Avoid bikes without full service history; previous owners who skimped on maintenance are a red flag on a machine this exotic. Electronics are relatively simple by modern standards, which is actually a blessing.
