Basically thats a ZX-10R with chassis from Bimota, just like Triumph in Moto2 using Kalex or Boscocuro chassis. Maybe CRT Class in motogp back days. Anyway its look gorgeous❤
This is what Bimota does. They buy engines from other mfgs to stick in their chassis. It’s what they’ve always done. The engine is likely the only Kawasaki component.
Really? It sounds like the fuel and spark timing mapping are off. As the rider rolls off the throttle, fuel still pours into the engine and is ignited late as timing retarded due to throttle slamming off Same problem the BMW MotoGP bikes have, only with them, the huge ball of fire out the exhaust clearly shows mapping problems.. The BMW comes, throttle wide open, down the straight...rolls off throttle and he shifts down BUT the fuel and spark retard mapping is off and fuel gets ignited in the exhaust with a foot long fireball.
would love to see Bimota has success, I used to ride a YB 1000 exup when I was young, but t.b. honest mainly because of the looks of the bike. Performance of the Yamaha was similar good.
I hope they do well. If my memory serves me, their last outing was fraught with a lot of reliability issues and could never really get to the front of the field. Wishing them all the best this season. That bike sounds fierce!
You can see the added aero really adds to the stability of the bike. The new swingarm and chassis too. Bike looks alot more stiff and way more planted under stress situations like braking and apexing. No more squirmy power delivery but also look how planted it is on corner entry. ZX10R always behaved more wild and rowdy when it came to slowing the bike down in hard braking sectors.
You need to be a real expert to understand these from a video. Even further. You should start working in the technical team as soon as possible. To hell with computers.
I doubt that's the bike at race speed especially seeing how new the bike is and looks visibly slower than the riders on Sunday, let's not get ahead of ourselves
Damnnn is on fire, bimota is with kawi right?... Just like tesi h2, that bike also seems to share zx-10r's features I guess tho it's good that their back in the game 🔥🔥🔥
It is like the old homologation specials. If Bimota gets the chassis dialed in, the engine is a known (good) quantity, they could be on to something. Will take a lot to beat Toprak and Beluga, but a custom chassis would be a good start.
Those wings will be handy! Should be able to hang your washing off them. Or maybe bike manufacturers could start including teets on the underside of the seat faring, that should be useful too!
I am 73, raced U.S. Superbike back in the early 1980s. Bimota has produced some exotic machines, but I only recall them race in Superbike twice. Usually because their bikes were exotic but not competitive enough. Also, in the video above, as the bike comes in off the track, listen to the brake squeek as the bike comes into the pit and stops. Tells you a lot.
Thank you for uploading raw footage without any music and unnecessary cuts.
Wish it was longer video.
Like 22 minute long video?
The sound is heavenly
sounds like v4
@@rasheeqrazaliWhat? Lol no. Sounds like an inline 4. Its a ZX10R Inline 4
@@theultimatef1geek463 Exactly!!!!!The same sound of a lot of bikes u.u
You're the type of guy who get orgasm eating an Italian McDonald's 😂
@@theultimatef1geek463inline 4 like 2020 Yamaha?
Such a shame Anthony Gobert is no longer with us and here to see this.. the last Bimota race winner..! He was awesome.. good luck to them next season.
RIP GoShow 🙏🏽
501 bimota, that's really sad he isn't here anymore.
RIP Gobert.😢
They should do a Gobert livery scheme tribute next time a PI.
Nooo. That really sucks to hear that. He was an absolute legend.
Wow! That frame is a salute to Bimota's legacy. Beautiful!
The sound of the exhaust is so melodious
Firing order sounds altered
Sounds like crossplane and flatplane mixed together
That is true it has different sound
@@unstoppable2131 More crispy to the ears
probably using split throttle like the new fireblade, hence the sound

yeah the brand was purchased by Kawasaki so It's probably more of a modified Ninja. Still sound great though.
Different chassis, different suspension, brakes, swingarm... It's definitely not a Ninja, only some engine components.
This is what Bimota does. They buy engines from other mfgs to stick in their chassis. It’s what they’ve always done. The engine is likely the only Kawasaki component.
@@blacklombax yeah, thats why its named Bimota KB998
@@Adam-uw8ul yeppe, that why it's not a Zx10r with bimota chassis only.
Sounds amazing
Good to see a modern bike looking good for a bit of a change. Nice shape
🤗Let the good times roll... Bimota is back. The bikes I always wanted and can't afford them. Next season will become great.
Mega!😊 hoffentlich so schnell wie sie aussieht! Bin gespannt!
Great sounding bike! Look forward to it racing in anger👌🏻
The new Bimota is amazing!! Can't wait to see it in a race!!
I love how eventho they are competitors. The other manufacturers are interested and having a chat about it
That's called as Machine... So beautiful.. ❤❤❤❤❤
super clean setup...love it.
Unbelievable how good that sounds..👍👍👍👍

No mapping problems
Danke, für diese wichtigen Neuigkeiten.immer gute videos.👍
wow i would see the Sport edition for street ...seem really cool like Ninja's
That's what a Superbike should sound like! I love the grunt coming out of turns.

Well it would be similar because of the same engine.the yb11 handled so much better...the only big difference was the price tag..
Melodía para los oídos !!
BIMOTO are back, thank god 🙏.
I hope they do well. If my memory serves me, their last outing was fraught with a lot of reliability issues and could never really get to the front of the field. Wishing them all the best this season.
That bike sounds fierce!
How did they get it to sound like that? Sounds amazing
That sound is awesome!
1:49 Reminded me of _Nicky Hayden_ for a sec (R.I.P.)

It's easy to look planted and tidy when you're 7 seconds off the pace...
You need to be a real expert to understand these from a video. Even further. You should start working in the technical team as soon as possible. To hell with computers.
You can't see shit.
The first man to visually see aero benefits lol
I doubt that's the bike at race speed especially seeing how new the bike is and looks visibly slower than the riders on Sunday, let's not get ahead of ourselves
She's beautiful boys!! And Florian looks great out there!
Nice to see other teams members watching the Bimota being launched.
I was really looking for a proper widescreen video, thanks for making it!
Looks very racing, looks very beautiful. Hope it will be fast as needed to be at top level in SBK.
The Bimota R9888 bike looks gorgeous!
Welcome back Bimota
sound amazing ❤
Great sound 😮❤❤❤❤
Awesome sound 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
sounds sick! eargasm
Glad to see Good old Bimota in New shades.
I'm in love😍

A great day for a crazy free ride🤯🔥🚀
"outstanding"🙏🤘😎
‼️‼️ Just Gotta have ‼️‼️
The Classic
White with green and red stripes
it looks very good
Forza Bimota!
Ride in Paradise Anthony Gobert🕊
The more the merrier I say. Bimota adds color.
Is that Florian Marino? And the sound is a pure music 😍
Damn that guy looks awesome fast
Looks stunning. Wonder if this might be the step forward for the Bimokwacker that Kawasaki Racing were perhaps lacking a bit. 🙂
Sound 🔥
Bimota, Derbi, malaguti, Mahindra, gilerra adalah motor legendaris.....👍👍👍
Let's Go 🤑
Awesome
Wow.... Tuatara evolution🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great Italian brand. What engine are they using now?
Looks like a ZX10 aggressive twin
damn that bike looks good!
also it sounds more rougher than any 4 inline
It's a ZX10 on steroids
Nice, Fierce !!!!!!!
Hub steering as on the tesi would have been really cool.
But this too looks amazing
Sounds great!!!!!
well. sounds like a zx10
Nice😎
Cornering is very smooth
Nice 👍
Damnnn is on fire, bimota is with kawi right?... Just like tesi h2, that bike also seems to share zx-10r's features I guess tho it's good that their back in the game 🔥🔥🔥
Sick

nice one
Sound of victory I've heard
Sounds nice! Have they changed firing order?
Nah looks to be using 4-2-1 exhaust set up to make that unique sound.
good luck
The Bimota emblem & what it symbolises is like a Picasso
What engine manufacturer is it running?
Kawi
Ça me rappel la zx rr d’il y a 20 ans.
I love the looks of the Bimota and sure the handling might be great. However Kawasaki needs to bring more power to make it more competitive
I like 😍
This bike is going to be on SBK ?
Bimota KB988 should be in the right hands next season.
Oh wow
❤❤
Kawasaki 🖤
0:17
Yes.... that's what Kawasaki should look like.... sleeker front look with little winglets protruding from the design lines....
wow kerennn
Wonder whats it gonna look like when they sell the production units
I'm not sure Bimota managed to sell 1000 of its bikes to enter the WSBK competition
1:29 unusual backfire sound.
Those wings will be handy! Should be able to hang your washing off them. Or maybe bike manufacturers could start including teets on the underside of the seat faring, that should be useful too!
Is there R9 tested on the track?
No, R1.
Looks strong and more like a prototype than a stret bike, but how nice is to see new brands on the grid.
Watch and learn MotoGP.
Bel sound.
Looks like a Ninja
nice
Time for lap?😅
What machine is used??
Nice Kawasaki 2025!
🔥
Isn't bimota reknown for their swing arm front end?
oh, elle marche!
What is the full name of the helmet that the rider uses?
As much as I'm going to miss KRT that thing sounds evil and goes good too.
