The Tera has joined Bimota's Tesi lineup, known for its center-hub steering, as an adventure tourer. Powered by the supercharged engine borrowed from Kawasaki's H2, this crossover model boasts a top speed of 270km/h. This first Japanese test ride checks out how it balances otherworldly performance with everyday comfort.

Center-hub steering is its own world where front and rear motion move independently. Bolting on a supercharged engine to pull it to 270km/h means everything from corner entry to exit is going to feel completely different. Having seen this stuff up close, I'd love to experience what this bike's front end actually does just once.

A center-hub steering setup is such a unique mechanism - curious how much it changes the ride feel.

Being the first domestic test ride suggests a lot's still undecided, like pricing and delivery timing.

Bimota does a lot of limited-production runs like this, so the price is probably going to land at a serious level too.

An adventure bike that hits 270km/h — makes you wonder where you'd actually ever use all of that.

Didn't expect an adventure model to join the Tesi series, a new direction.

Center-hub steering with an H2 supercharged engine — a wonderfully weird combination, very Bimota.
