Ok thanks! Carbon front and rear swing arm, very cool. The only thing I would change is the "rabbit ear" mirrors. It may look better with a bar end type mirror. I like both bikes, I wonder what the pricing will be, oh and also the weight, it seems like it should be very light (the Tesi) |

You know....
that Tesi front end.
..with the round headlight ...
..Handlebars...
.sticky out mirrors...
.and leather single "Bobber" seat
It just kept reminding me of something I'd seen and I couldnt recall what...
And then.....
a quick trawl through Google.......
and I found it..........
Evidently a little more practical with room for a passenger and some overnight luggage..........  |

2Bim's , that is a bit harsh !!!

Those pictures are better, but if you going to go the cafe racer/Retro look , I do think a nice set of anodised spoked wheels would look far more in keeping with the image. |

I think they are both horrendous. Major disappointment. Look at Triumph for what a cafe racer should look like with the Thruxton R. I think this must be what it as like when they unveiled the Muntra!!!

I like the carbon swingarms on the Tesi, but that's where it ends for me I'm afraid. The style of them doesn't apeal to me. I'm sure somebody loves them and that's all that counts

I don't think the H2 is ugly at all. They looks brilliant in the flesh.

Saw the H2 at the TT this year. They do look better in the flesh than in pictures , but not for me I'm afraid.
But if it was a choice between the new Bim's and a H2 , I to would be a Kwak owner also.
Saw one of the Norton Domiracers at the TT also , and if you want to do modern Cafe racer then that has got to be the way to do it !!!!!!!Tried to order one but all sold out !!!! I wonder why ????

Most will end up in collections and sold on years later like the demiracer |

I don't like the H2
Saw them at Milan last year along with a very disappointed public

Sitting in Milan airport....pretty disappointed
Only thing for sale was the mini DB1 bodywork.......1000 euroso
Nothing really on show which does not need a lot of buyers input and work
The BB3 needs an engine and loom...plus a lot of assembly time
The Tesi needs love like only a mother can give
The Impeto needs a 're think with regards to the seat...exhaust..rear number plate assembly and overall design
I am not discounting it.......but it ain't ready....that is for sure
Absolutely bonkers idea and I love it but not the current model shown
It really needs altered to suit.....although. no one would sell me it as is and let me change it[/img]
