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于2023年推出，这是继川崎于2019年收购Bimota49％的股份之后，这家意大利精品制造商对川崎动力机器的回归具有里程碑意义的回归。KB4 围绕川崎 Z1000 直列四缸引擎构建，恢复了可追溯到 1978 年传奇的 KB1 的 KB 命名传统。值得注意的是，它将Bimota手工制作的意大利底盘艺术与川崎久经考验的动力装置相结合，为批量生产的超人提供了独一无二的轻质替代品。

买家应该知道什么
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.

二手买家评论
"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.
