Under the bodywork will be the Kawasaki Ninja H2's supercharged four-cylinder engine with the same figures, so, 228 bhp, and 238 bhp with the 'Ram Air' induction. With different carbon fibre elements and a unique hub-centre steering, the Bimota Tesi H2 may in fact be faster than the Kawasaki, and is expected to be a sharp handler as well. With the Tesi H2 coming to market in Europe as early as October 1, 2020, when its price and full specifications will be announced, it will mark the beginning of a era of Kawasaki's ownership of the storied Italian brand.

Bimota was founded in 1973 by Valerio Bianchi, Guiseppe Morri and Massimo Tamburini. The company takes its name from the first two letters of the surnames of the founders. Last year, Kawasaki acquired 49.9 per cent stake in Bimota, and all future Bimota motorcycles will be powered by Kawasaki engines.
