Rider Profile

Best ForNote: specs given are for the Bimota Tesi H2, not the KB4 RC, but this profile is built from that data; this is a machine strictly for expert, highly experienced riders only.
PurposeBuilt as an exotic, hypersport-level exhibition of engineering, blending supercharged Kawasaki H2 power with Bimota's exotic hub-center steering front end for extreme performance and track-focused precision.
Rider FitDemands a fit, strong rider comfortable with an aggressive forward-leaning stance, high footpegs, and the physical intensity of managing 228 hp with minimal comfort accommodations.
CharacterA rare, boutique hypersport machine for riders who want cutting-edge chassis technology, jaw-dropping acceleration, and exclusivity over practicality.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for beginners, commuters, passengers, or anyone seeking comfort, storage, or all-weather everyday usability.

2024 Bimota KB4 RC Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2024 Bimota KB4 RC, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
