The Hb4 is the first Honda powered Bimota since the CB1100 powered Hb3 from the mid-80s.   The Hb4 is powered by a CBR600RR mille and weighs in at a staggering 297 lbs.  Bimota is considering producing a road-going variant.  As usual, you'll probably have to tap in to your 401k if you want one.

I wonder if they built it for the new 600cc 4stroke rules for the 250 GP class?

The video says "for Moto2" at the start, so my guess is yes, it's a moto2 bike.

Can't see video thru firewall.

But if Bimota tries to sell this bike as a production street bike, how could they put it in Moto2? Its supposed to be for prototypes only?

Perhaps after they are done racing it? Like the Desmocideici?

Step 1:  Just drop a CBR600 engine in it instead of the spec 600 and call it production.  
Step 2:  Sell dozens of them.
Step 3:  File bankruptcy again.
