The rush has begun to get hold of the

extremely limited‘ production’ version of the WSBK Kawasaki-powered Bimota and don’ t expect to see any sitting on a showroom floor waiting for you. If you want the first machine on the street to have active aero and all that

WSBK goodness adorning it, you will have to go to and beg, wallet in hand, just like everyone else on the planet that wants one of the 125( minus the bikes racing in WSBK at present) units from the very first production run. With an official price of the FIM-regulated Euro 44,000, which, in NZD, equates to a credit card melting $ 85,000 and some change, it may take some marital counselling for some but even that is easier than negotiating for permission ahead of said purchase.
