Bimota Tesi H2 Revealed In Test Video On Track

The supercharged Bimota Tesi H2 has been revealed in a new video which shows the bike undergoing test runs on a racetrack. But what is interesting is that the test bike in question seems to be an almost production-ready model. The Bimota Tesi H2 was revealed in late 2019 after Kawasaki bought a stake in the Italian brand. The Tesi H2 hyperbike in a way combines the best of both worlds, cutting-edge Japanese technology and the best Italian design. The H2 is powered by Kawasaki's supercharged, four-cylinder engine which puts out around 230 bhp, and Bimota's unconventional design and frame.

The latest video clip doesn't show much of the bike's design, but we can very clearly hear the supercharged engine, and see the unique hub-steering front end of the Tesi H2 in action. From what we've seen in earlier photos released of the bike undergoing tests, the Tesi H2 is stunning to look at, and quite the futuristic superbike. From what we can see from the pictures, the Tesi H2 seems to be almost ready, complete with front and rear lights, as well as rear view mirrors and indicators. The fairing also sports a pair of winglets to provide downforce at high speeds, and on the face are two small lights mounted next to the headlight.

Quite a few details are seen of the Bimota Tesi H2, including the re-designed face

The Bimota Tesi H2 seems almost ready to be unveiled in production form. However, with most global motorcycle events currently cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it's not clear when we will get to see the production model, or if at all we get to see the bike in finished form this year. What is likely is that Bimota, with fresh capital from Kawasaki, will look at introducing the Tesi H2 sometime in early 2021.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights.

Honda 850 cc Parallel-Twin Engine Revealed In Patent Filings

Image
Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
