EICMA: Bimota launches enduro bike BX450
Today the doors of the EICMA motorcycle fair in Milan swung open and immediately there was spectacular news. The exotic Italian brand Bimota, known for its hand-built motorcycles, showed off a single-cylinder enduro motorcycle based on the Kawasaki KX450X.
The brand from Rimini has been working with Kawasaki for some time, which has a 49,9 percent stake in the Italian company. The Bimota Enduro shows off in Italian colors and has a larger fuel tank, adjustable mappings and traction control. The total weight of the machine is 110 kg.
Furthermore, the BX450 is equipped with an electric starter, a 49 mm upside down fork and Metzeler Six Days tires and a Euro-5 engine. Production has already started, but the price of this Bimota at the dealer has not yet been announced.
