www.club-kawasaki.co.ukI can summarize the latest publicly available information I have, but I don’t have real-time access right now. Here’s the most recent context about Bimota from industry reporting and official channels up to 2025–2024 periods.
-
Bimota’s motorsport comeback: There have been repeated announcements about Bimota returning to World Superbike racing in collaboration with Kawasaki, including a joint venture described as bringing a Bimota chassis with Kawasaki-engine technology to WorldSBK around 2025–2026. This marks a notable shift from their previous production-focused approach to a factory-backed racing program.[3][6]
-
Production and corporate status: Over the 2010s and into the mid-2020s, Bimota faced closures and restructurings, with persistent reporting on factory shutdowns or wind-downs at various times, followed by revival efforts (including partnerships and new models) that have rotated in and out of press coverage. By 2024–2025, there were active statements and media from BbKRT and related entities about racing activities, with limited detail on a broad, renewed production lineup for general consumers.[5][6][7][8]
-
New model introductions and media: In late 2024 and 2025, there were media pieces around new Bimota racing projects (KB998 Rimini) and related documentary-style content about engineering and development, signaling a focused emphasis on racing and revival storytelling rather than a wide, immediate consumer model rollout. Cycle News coverage in 2024 also highlighted Bimota’s WorldSBK-linked plans and testing activity.[2][4][9]
-
Ownership and investor notes: Historical coverage has discussed investor interest and possibilities for sustaining Bimota’s niche production, but concrete, long-term ownership or a steady-state production cadence has varied across years, with occasional gaps in continuous production updates.[1]
Would you like me to pull the very latest updates and confirm current status (as of today) and any new models or racing commitments? I can search for the newest official press releases or reputable automotive outlets and provide a concise, cited update. If you prefer, I can also focus on a specific angle (WorldSBK involvement, new KB998 Rimini model, or consumer availability in Europe).
