Bimota KB1
For nearly a decade, Bimota sold the KB1 as a way to show off the Kawasaki powerplant. This was made for Kawasaki owners who were on the lookout for a new ride. Bimota offered a new solution that came with new tech. Bimota sold it in kits but ceased its production in 1982. It sold only 827 units by then.

Yamaha XT660
In 1976, Yamaha introduced the XT660. It was dubbed a multi-purpose motorcycle that was equipped for off-road trips as well. This was a faster and lighter option than the XT600. It had been a success for the Japanese company. As a testament to that claim, the US Military did not shy away from using it!
