bimota by KAWASAKI RACING TEAM

The official Kawasaki Racing Team made its move to WorldSBK in 2011 under the Provec Racing organization. Over the years, KRT has built a dominant legacy, securing multiple championships with legendary riders like Tom Sykes and Jonathan Rea, who claimed six consecutive titles from 2015 to 2020.

The 2025 season is a new chapter as the team transitioned to the bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team (BbKRT), marking one of the most highly anticipated entries in WorldSBK history. Unveiled at the bimota factory HQ in Rimini, Italy the team competes with the cutting-edge bimota KB998 Rimini, showcasing a bold new race livery.
