Bimota's $65,399 KB998 Rimini Turns Race Pedigree Into a Street-Legal Machine

· 1 min read

Bimota's new KB998 Rimini is now street-legal and carries a $65,399 price tag, built on the kind of racing foundation that has long defined the marque's reputation among enthusiasts. Riding it at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in California, evaluators came away calling it hard to beat, saying they could scarcely imagine a better day spent in the saddle. The verdict points to a motorcycle that delivers genuine competition character on public roads, at a price that puts it within reach of serious collectors rather than factory race teams alone.
