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.

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
