Stunning Bimota Tesi H2 Carbon to be released in March
As if the stock Bimota Tesi H2 wasn’t desirable enough already – the new Carbon edition is stunning!
The legendary Italian motorcycle manufacturer from Rimini has just spiced up 2021, as the Bimota Tesi H2 Carbon edition is announced.
Okay, first things first, let’s address the supercharged Elephant in the room – the new Bimota Tesi H2 Carbon isn’t actually much different from the white and red bike we have already seen. In fact, it’s exactly the same, just painted in a new, moody black colour scheme.
The new bike has the same eye-watering spec with just over 230bhp from the Kawasaki H2-derived engine and the same insane front end. So it is basically a repainted version of the standard bike.
So, what is the deal with the new Bimota Tesi H2 Carbon?
So, you may be asking yourself what extra benefit you have for opting for the new bike. Well, apart from the fact it looks absolutely stunning, exclusivity.
Bimota is only putting a limited number of the new bikes into production, and it’s likely that only a handful of these will ever reach the UK’s windswept shores. So, if you’ve got close on to £60,000 burning a hole in your leathers, and you happen to want one of the fastest bikes on two-wheels, you know who to call! Bikes are reported to be landing in the UK and Europe in March 2021.
