Italian marque Bimota returned to the US market in August 2026 after about a decade away, through new sole dealer Bimota Spirit in Raleigh, North Carolina. The launch lineup starts with the 197-hp KB998 Rimini (limited to 500 units worldwide) and the supercharged 231-hp Tesi H2 (250 units), with the Tesi H2 TERA and new KB4-series models due later this year.

My pulse spiked reading the spec sheet. The Tesi H2 packs a supercharged 998cc engine making 231 hp with hub-center steering, and the KB998 Rimini is a road-going version of their WorldSBK machine at 197 hp — no wonder it's capped at 500 units worldwide. With Kawasaki's engineering muscle behind it, this precision is just incredible.
