Bimota KB4: test for the proposed example [VIDEO]

Bimota, via the Facebook page, recently proposed photos and also a film lasting a few seconds focused on a braking test of the next KB4.

The specialised farming model

The project would be developed in a limited series, as emerged in various specialized media. What animates the specimen would be a heart of origin Kawasaki, a 5 cc Euro 1.043 approved four-cylinder engine. Probably a similar engine to the one that equips the new Ninja 1000SX. A unit that has been renewed by evaluating the profile of the camshafts, the more compact intake ducts for two of the four cylinders and new butterfly valves with electronic management. On the aforementioned example it offers 142 horsepower at 10.000 rpm and 111 Nm of torque at 8.000 rpm. A 1.000 model engine on a concept closer to a 600 motorcycle, as previously revealed. The unit would be placed inside a trellis frame and in turn embraced by a carbon fiber fairing.
On an aesthetic level, the design would be characterized by retro features, also recalling the short film proposed last November which anticipated this creation. A refined appearance associated with technological and functional components. Also considering another photo proposed via social media, the bike would also have instrumentation on a TFT display through which various aspects can be managed, assuming a complex and technological equipment. Solutions such as cruise control, quick shift gearbox, ride by wire control and even sophisticated electronically adjustable suspensions could appear, depending on the hypotheses. For the moment, however, it is necessary to use the conditional.
