I agree. A Japanese in an Italian outfit. But with looks of a Ducati and reliability of a Kawasaki. There should be buyers. A few years down the line I wouldn't be surprised to find the front swingarm on the original H2.

think the base is shorter than standard, same approach as the KB4...

I like the looks (aside from the stock exhaust) but I’d like to hear more details about the front end. I like it when companies are willing to try something different from conventional forks.

This was glorious. Love Bimota, thank you for making and sharing this video.

I had the 2016 Ninja H2 it was a vwonderful experience to own. After owning every style of bike on and off road, including some road racing in my life, it certainly was the best experience as far as street bikes are concerned. I have always thought a conglomerate of parts sourcesd from the best manufacturers would be the ultimate in motorcycling experience. Here is an example of Italian culture and class coupled with the most exciting sophisticated modern four cycling inline engine from KHI I would absolutely LOVE to own it, but hate to think of the price of this beast 😮

On a grey and sad snowy day, it’s comforting to see that we are capable of designing and building something this beautiful and glorious. It’s a masterpiece, and yet it moves… really quickly.

I would kill for one of those. it is just the bollocks. well done to bimota 👏👏👏👏

Yes this bike need a serious track to let it all out. It looks stunning, that front end is something else.

Always loved the Tesi formula 🙂

Great vid & a truly incredible machine. I bet they've already sold them all already regardless of the price.

Wow, such a stunning superbike...H2 with different brand and appearance. No wonder Tesi H2 can use the most powerful and advance engine from Kawasaki Ninja H2, since Bimota mother company is Kawasaki. Welcome another supercharged superbike. Bravo...

Love it! I hope you can convince Bimota to lend you one to test at a nice racetrack…

Thank you Bimoto!! 🫶🏽

I remember the Tesi from years ago 😆 But it was nothing like that!! 😍

Dream bike

Perfect combo.😁

Awesome. The Italians have a flair for styling. 🙂🙂

The future of Moto GP and WSBK is going to improve even more! Faster lap times by phenomenal riders! Can't wait!

Nice to see "shell suit" riding gear making a comeback!

Yes a bigger course would suit it just fine. Love that engine!

AWESOME AMAZING FANTASTIC

Soooo nice, I'd love one.

It's great that there are still manufacturers out there designing these impractical beauties. Be it cars or bikes, the day people stop making these will be a sad day.

Schitterend!, lekker anders en eigenwijs, I love it

Imagine turning up to a bike meet on that.

Some lovely styling cues and you have to salute the powerplant. The front end is innovative and that's good to see. $90K USD is a show stopper though for the market. Way rather have the garage filled with a handful of $20K bikes.

What a great collaboration

@Thumper I thought it would be 100k-120k rather than 60k hahaha. There’s enough “special edition” bikes that are just a different paint job and cost more, but this bike at least has some different engineering going on. It’s a lot but I’m not the target market for this bike anyway. Where do you live that a 5 bedroom house and land is £40,000/$47,000usd/$62,000cad?

Just learnt something new ,, every day is a bonus, Kawasaki own 49 % of Bimota 😊, it looks stunning ,

HR2 bimota!!

love that

What brand gauntlets (gloves) are those?

I like bikes with a long wheelbase on the track, you can have much more fun on the throttle. I couldn't care less about lap times - just the fun of it.

But I like the backend sliding around ... when someone like Bagnaia is doing it. 😂

Wow... new ways!!! Aside from the number plate and the exhaust.

Of course the back end will lift. The geometry of the front pivot point do stop/reduce the front end dive. But the back wheel will lift under braking. Would've been good to have a camera setup to film the front end under braking.

The Bimota looks like from another star

I'm not a Kawasaki fan but Bimota? :) wow

it's impressive, H2 is already impressive, this one is on another level.

Nice presentation 👍

Is it me or are the exhaust end cans more suited to refuse collection?

It looks like a really high tech push-me-pull-me.

Very nice I would like to see some brave team do a proper race season on one.

As a Bimota owner (SB6R), I initially thought this was ugly as f*** from the release pictures. But change the exhaust and tail hanger/tidy, and my word........ that thing is insane. Just unfortunate that it costs about 5 times more than my SB6R! 🤣

Bike from the future

I saw this model at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It looked and sounded awesome. Yes it’s expensive but not compared to the equivalent super car model and if you had to choose only one toy to have in the garage it helps to justify the investment. 👍

very good bike to drive.

What does it weigh?

It's not so much about dive; they actually engineer-in a bit of dive. It's about separating the steering and suspension from the braking forces, allowing the suspension to continue to be compliant even when hard on the brakes. Normally a fork would compress and you'd run out of suspension travel (or at least the soft bit).

@jeffestrada6857

Жыл бұрын

Forks diving is actually an advantage. The rake/geometry is steepened and the bike turns better. So brake dive isnt all bad

@wizrom3046

Жыл бұрын

Since hard braking throws 95%+ of the bikes weight onto the front wheel, I would like to know how how you are going to stop the front suspension from diving.

Styling lets it down, but it’s a Bimota!

they should make a ram air intake that looks just like the exhaust, so we can confuse people when they are trying to tell which is the front. its already got front swing arm.

can somebody tell how that steering work ? or what name of that suspension ?

Lucky b*+&£! Any vacancies at Bike World?! You explained that the ABS and TC had been recalibrated but it sounds like the rider's brain also needs recalibrating before taking this monster on track. Some of the early shots in the video showed the bike fitted with an Arrow race exhaust but we only saw you on the homologated version - did you get to ride the tweaked one too?

I’d like to see you take it around Phillip Island, one of the fastest tracks in the world. I’ve taken a S1000RR around there and that was scary enough lol

Bi-Mo-Ta can't remember their names it's been so long. Something like bitsy, mozzarella, & tamburini. They were the heads of successful Italian motorcycles. This company's gone under more than once. One time building me my dream machine, a two-stroke V-Twin 500cc fuel injected wheelie machine. Yeah that bankrupt them. ☹️ Truly the Lamborghini motorcycles. I remember the KB-1. The rolling chassis without engine and electrics, was $10,000. And those were 1970s dollars. If I die and come back as a motorcycle, I hope it's a BIMOTA!!!

♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

They should have taken vyrus front end with its double wishbone steering mechanism to eliminate vague steering feel. But still a perfect marriage.
