About Bimota
Founded in 1973 in Rimini, Italy, Bimota (a name derived from the founders Bianchi, Morri, and Tamburini) has always operated on a simple premise: production engines are great, but production frames can be better. By sourcing powerplants from giants like Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati, and now Kawasaki, Bimota focuses its engineering prowess entirely on the chassis, suspension, and lightweight materials. This approach has led to some of the most exotic and expensive motorcycles ever to hit the tarmac.
The technical hallmark of Bimota is the Tesi series, which famously abandoned traditional telescopic forks in favor of a "hub-center steering" system. This setup separates steering and braking forces, allowing the bike to remain remarkably stable under heavy deceleration. Beyond the Tesi, models like the DB series (powered by Ducati) and the new KB4 (powered by Kawasaki) utilize trellis frames, carbon fiber bodywork, and CNC-machined aluminum plates to achieve incredible power-to-weight ratios. In this database, you will find the precise geometry, dry weights, and component lists that define Bimota’s "no-compromise" engineering. For the enthusiast, a Bimota represents the pinnacle of Italian mechanical art, where every bolt is an exercise in performance optimization.
