Bimota KB998: Details
The Bimota KB998 combines the best of both worlds: classic Bimota design and modern racing features. Its fairing has a unique look, blending elements from Kawasaki's Ninja models while adding its own distinctive touches.
For improved performance, the KB998 includes aerodynamic winglets, a common feature in today's race bikes. The side fairings offer more protection for the engine compared to the Ninja's design.
