From the spotlight of the 2024 EICMA motorcycle show to the streets of Manila, the revolution continues: the all-new Bimota KB998 Rimini has officially launched in the Philippines!
A masterpiece born of passion and performance, the KB998 Rimini combines the raw power of Kawasaki’s fire-breathing Ninja ZX-10RR engine with Bimota’s razor-sharp, hand-crafted Italian chassis. This beast is more than just a superbike—it’s Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team’s (BbKRT) official contender for the 2025 World Superbike Championship, which kicked off this February at the legendary Phillip Island circuit in Australia.
Named after the historic city of Rimini, Italy, where every unit is meticulously hand-assembled by a single technician from start to finish, the KB998 Rimini is not just built for speed—it’s built with soul. Despite meeting the strict homologation requirements of the WorldSBK series, Bimota has stayed true to its artisanal roots, making each bike a rolling piece of performance art.
Get up close and personal with this Italian-Japanese marvel during its exclusive Philippine debut at the California Superbike School, happening April 12-13, 2025, at Clark International Speedway. And yes—it’s not just for show. The KB998 Rimini will be available for retail in the Philippines starting April 9, in perfect sync with its European launch, through Wheeltek Motor Sales Corporation, the country’s official and exclusive Bimota distributor.
Prepare to meet the future of racing.
