'''Bimota''' is an Italian manufacturer of [[Custom motorcycle|custom]] and production [[motorcycle]]s. It was founded in 1973 in [[Rimini]] by Valerio Bianchi, Giuseppe Morri, and [[Massimo Tamburini]]. The company name is a [[portmanteau]] derived from the first two letters of each of the three founders' surnames: Bianchi, Morri, and Tamburini.

Because the state of [[Motorcycle frame|frame]] design was stagnant in the 1970s,<ref>"The Ultimate History of Fast Motorcycles", By: Brown, Ronald. Pages 148-149, 174-175, 210-211, 230, 248-249, 286-287 Published by Parragon Publishing 2002. {{ISBN|1-4054-5466-0}}</ref> Bimota concentrated initially on building high-quality motorcycle [[chassis]] around existing engines. From the beginning they customised the top models of [[Suzuki]], [[Honda]] and [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries|Kawasaki]]. During the late 1970s, Bimota also helped develop and build motorcycles branded as [[Lamborghini]]s.{{citation needed|date=October 2014}} In the 1980s they also customised [[Yamaha Motor Corporation|Yamaha]] and [[Ducati]] motorcycles.

Bimota's co-founder and long-time chief designer [[Massimo Tamburini|Tamburini]] has been an influential player in the development of other Italian brands, most significantly his work on the popular [[Ducati 916]], the [[Ducati Paso]], and the [[MV Agusta F4 series|MV Agusta F4]]; other designers such as Bimota chief ''Sergio Robbiano'' have also been involved with larger-volume manufacturers.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}

More recent Bimota models included the DB5, DB6, DB7, DB9 and the Tesi, with a DB8 featuring the [[Ducati 1198]] engine. The [[Bimota Tesi|Tesi 3D]] was especially unusual, which, along with the co-designed [[Vyrus]], was the only motorcycle then in production to use [[hub-center steering]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}

== Racing ==
Bimota first experienced international racing success in [[1980 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1980]] when [[Privateer (motorsport)|privateer]] [[Jon Ekerold]] won the [[List of 350cc Motorcycle World Champions|350cc world championship]] on a [[:it:Bimota YB3|Yamaha-powered Bimota]].<ref>{{Citation |first1=Dennis | last1=Noyes |year=1999 |first2= Michael |last2=Scott |title=Motocourse: 50 Years Of Moto Grand Prix |publisher =Hazleton Publishing Ltd |isbn=978-1-874557-83-8 }}</ref> They also experienced success in the early years of the [[Superbike World Championship]]. [[Virginio Ferrari]] won the 1987 [[Formula TT]] title aboard a YB4 EI, partnering with [[Davide Tardozzi]]. Tardozzi won five races in the inaugural {{SBK|1988}} world superbike championship, more than any other competitor, but inconsistent results relegated him to third place in the final standings.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldsbk.com/en/season/standings?p_S_Campionato=SBK&p_Anno=1988&p_PilotiCostruttori=P |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130217013719/http://www.worldsbk.com/en/season/standings?p_S_Campionato=SBK&p_Anno=1988&p_PilotiCostruttori=P |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 February 2013 |title=1988 World Superbike Championship final standings |publisher=worldsbk.com |access-date=13 January 2013 }}</ref>

After many years without success, Australian rider [[Anthony Gobert]] caused a major{{clarify|date=February 2024}} shock{{according to whom|date=February 2024}} in {{SBK|2000}} by winning a wet race at Philip Island on a Bimota SB8K. The Alstare team entered a [[Bimota BB3]] package into [[World Superbikes]] in [[2014 Superbike World Championship|2014]] for riders [[Ayrton Badovini]] and [[Christian Iddon]], however, the bike initially did not have enough units in production to pass the championship's homologation rules. As a compromise, the bikes were allowed to enter from round 2, but ineligible for points until homologation was achieved. At the end of the year, the team finished unclassified and disqualified.

== Bankruptcy and rebirth ==
[[File:Bimota Vdue.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.0|Bimota Vdue]]
The [[Bimota V Due|V Due]], introduced in 1997, had a design flaw with its engine.<ref name="Cormier">{{cite web |last1=Cormier |first1=Jason |title=Bimota V-Due 500 - The Bike That Killed Bimota |url=https://www.odd-bike.com/2012/11/bimota-v-due-500-bike-that-killed-bimota.html |website=www.odd-bike.com |access-date=13 March 2019}}</ref> Bimota was forced to abandon the novel fuel injection system and re-engineer the entire engine.<ref name="Cormier" /> Bimota ultimately [[Product recall|recalled]] the entire run of the V Due, and made an improved version, the 'Evoluzione'. Only 340 original V Dues and 21 Evoluziones were built.<ref name="Cormier" /> While this was occurring, during the [[2000 Superbike World Championship season|2000 World Superbike]] season, one of Bimota's main sponsors disappeared, owing the company a great deal of money. The combination of events forced Bimota to file for bankruptcy and close their doors.

In 2003, new owners of the marque assets, Lorenzo Ducati and Giuseppi Della Pietra, formed Alternativa Moto, with the intention to manufacture all-Italian machines using Ducati engines, and sold the V-Due rights to Win-Win.<ref>"Back from the brink. Bimota reborn". ''Motorcycle Sport & Leisure'', July 2003, pp.59-61. Accessed 12 July 2022</ref>

A new group of investors purchased the rights to the Bimota name and designs and restarted the company. The investors that bought Bimota, Marco Chiancianesi who is the president and his business partner Daniele Longoni are both active Scientologists.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.scientology.tv/series/meet-a-scientologist/bimota-motorcycles.html |title=Meet a Scientologist - Bimota Motorcycles |website=www.scientology.tv |date=10 April 2018 }}</ref>

Recent reports paint a less optimistic picture for the future of Bimota. In 2017, the factory at Rimini had reportedly closed,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.cycleworld.com/storied-italian-motorcycle-company-bimota-hits-another-bump-in-road |title = Storied Italian Motorcycle Company Bimota Hits Another Bump in the Road |website=www.cycleworld.com}}</ref> with spares and incomplete bikes mothballed elsewhere, possibly in Switzerland.

In October 2019, [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries]] purchased a 49% stake in the company,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.cycleworld.com/kawasaki-acquires-bimota/ |title = Kawasaki Acquires Bimota |website=www.cycleworld.com}}</ref> and soon after announced an intention to manufacture Bimota bikes using parts from the Kawasaki supply chain.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://advrider.com/pre-production-bimota-kb4-coming-summer-2020/ |title=Pre-production Bimota KB4 Coming Summer 2020 |website=advrider.com |date=10 February 2020}}</ref>
