WebBikeWorld has the scoop on the new Bimoto Tesi. Bimoto is know for creating bikes that push the envelope, but this is really pushing it! It will be interesting to see how the bike fares when the magazines get some testing time on it. I guess its OK to be different, but let’s hope that the bike is actually good.

Concentrating on innovative technical solutions, the Tesi 3D has been developed entirely by Bimota’s in-house staff at the factory in Rimini, Italy.  The motorcycle is dressed in the traditional Bimota color-scheme of white, red, and gold and it’s powered by the Ducati 1079cc engine.

While featuring the original Hub-Steering developed by Bimota, the Tesi 3D Concept boasts several new developments and refinements: The front and rear swing utilize a trellis structure similar to the rear swing of our DB5 and DB6 series’ models.

Also the front suspension has been radically redesigned and now uses a pull-rod mechanism with the hydraulic suspension located low beside the engine.  Carbon body-parts and cowling, forged alloy wheels, and radial disc brakes are further features of the new Tesi 3D.  The frame consists of light alloy.

The Tesi 3D is equipped with a Ducati 1100 DS engine with a displacement of 1079cc, giving the motorcycle significantly more horsepower compared to its predecessor.  The electrical environment is developed by Bimota.

The Tesi 3D will be available in the USA as a limited production model in the fall 2007.
