Bimota Tesi H2 Tera
What if a motorcycle refuses to follow every rule you think you know?
The Bimota Tesi H2 Tera isn’t built to fit a category, it exists to challenge it.
Preview – Bimota Tesi H2 Tera, Engineering Without Compromise
The Bimota Tesi H2 Tera is not a motorcycle you casually understand. It doesn’t rely on familiarity, nor does it try to please everyone. From the moment you see it, this machine announces itself as something fundamentally different an engineering statement rather than a market-driven product.

At its core lies Kawasaki’s supercharged H2 engine, but everything around it feels unmistakably Bimota. The radical hub-centre steering front end immediately separates the Tesi from conventional motorcycles. There are no traditional forks, no expected visual cues only exposed mechanics, precision-machined components and an almost architectural approach to design. This is a bike that wears its complexity openly.

On the road, the experience is as unconventional as the appearance suggests. Steering feedback is unique, stability under braking feels almost unnatural, and the front end remains remarkably composed where traditional setups might protest. The sensation takes time to process; this is not a motorcycle that reveals itself in the first kilometres. Instead, it demands attention, trust and adaptation from its rider.

Despite its futuristic layout, the Tesi H2 Tera isn’t an unrideable concept piece. Ergonomics are surprisingly humane, and once the rhythm is found, the bike flows with an unexpected ease. The supercharged engine delivers relentless torque, yet the chassis keeps everything under tight control. It feels fast, yes, but more importantly, it feels deliberate.

This is not an adventure bike, nor a naked, nor a hyperbike in the traditional sense. The Tera occupies its own space, blurring boundaries between genres while refusing to be defined by them. Practicality takes a back seat to innovation, and price is clearly not part of the discussion.

The Bimota Tesi H2 Tera exists for a very specific rider: one who values engineering curiosity over convention, and experience over explanation. It doesn’t aim to make sense on paper. It aims to make you think every time you ride it.
