Bimota Tesi H2 Review
"The most technically fascinating motorcycle money can buy used, barely."
Used Buyer Review
Let's be honest: the Tesi H2 is one of the most insane motorcycles ever bolted together. Kawasaki's supercharged H2 engine stuffed into Bimota's hub-center steering chassis sounds like a fever dream, and riding one confirms it. That steering geometry genuinely eliminates dive under braking in a way that rewires your brain — corner entry confidence is unlike anything else on two wheels. The 228 horsepower figure is almost beside the point; it's the exotic mechanical experience that justifies the price tag. Buying used though? Do your homework obsessively. These bikes saw limited production and attracted owners who either babied them as investments or absolutely hammered them on track days. There's very little middle ground. Get a full service history, check the supercharger belt condition specifically, and budget serious money for maintenance — Bimota dealer networks are thin and labor rates are brutal. Parts availability can make a grown man weep.
