Bimota KB4: could there also be electronically managed suspensions?

Speaking of waiting Bimota KB4, considering further rumors that have emerged recently, there could also be electronic suspensions connected to a set-up. For now the conditional is a must.

The latest rumors

The wait KB4, the second result of the partnership between the Rimini company and Kawasaki, could be introduced in September or even later within the year, keeping in mind the health emergency and possible developments. The rumor reported by various media cites a potential introduction of Öhlins electronically controlled suspension. An aspect to be reported in the conditional, however, in light of the effects of the pandemic which also affected the supply branch.
Considering a previous and short video released months ago and the recent ones photo, expect a retro style but with a marked sportiness, connected to the tradition of the brand. There is talk of a 1000 cc engine, again echoing the rumours, but with characteristics equally common to the medium-sized 600 cc engines. Therefore a potential and interesting symbiosis of characteristics.
Externally it may resemble the historic one KB1 signed by Massimo Tamburini, while the thrust could be generated by a four-cylinder in-line engine 1.043 cc. A unit similar to the one that animates the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX and which generates 142 horsepower at 10.000 rpm and 111 Nm of torque at 8.000 rpm, taking up the information linked to the model. A heart that could be combined with a trellis frame made of steel and enriched with aluminum plates, with a double-arched swingarm. In addition to the engine there could also be a series of electronic systems of Kawasaki origin.
