Bimota Tesi 3D

[weeksy]

I don't like it, but can appreciate the effort that's gone into it. It's deffo impressive in terms of engineering

[KungFooBob]

I prefer the classic 90's Tesi...



There's only one Bimota I want (everyone else seems to hate them). It's also probably the only Bimota I could afford.

I love it, that's my sort of art, but it's not £32k worth of love for me- if it was £15-20k it would be on my landing, but I'm not convinced that it will ever rise that much above the current asking price, if any.
I'd quite like a DB7 ( the Bimota one) too, they are not so rare/ exotic, but still beautiful IMO, and that one would get ridden

It looks great, and I really appreciate the engineering, but at the heart of it there's still an air-cooled V-twin that's been around for over 30 years. They could at least have equipped it with a modern Ducati lump - an 899 or 959 would be perfect. OK, it's a Last Edition, but they've never been that popular, more regarded as a curiosity. And the photos are a bit on the dark and moody side. I'd like to see more detail.

Yay or nay?
I think it's quirky enough to be nice.

They've put a fairing on which will do fuck all really.

Interesting comments so far. I think it's a mess. They seem to have taken every bit of odd design they could think of and, for no better reason than they can, chucked it all at one bike.

I like the side stand.

It looks Alien. An unholy offspring of insect and machine. Kinda cool.

I'll never know what it's like to ride,as the price is just silly,but I find it very visually interesting and not unattractive.

[Buckaroo]

Maybe I have the wrong glasses on, but I see a Katana style bike.

[Supermofo]

but if it didn't say Bimota and had been made in China I don't know if I'd like it at all.

Personally I reckon you can say that for 90% of Italian bikes.

Funny front end, I give you the Vyrus. Which I prefer over the Tesi and you can spec a brown seat!

Probably my favourite "mainstream" manufacturer (I use the term loosely!) bike.

How I'd build a bike, if I were to build one. Well one with a piston engine anyway.

A mate has 3 Bimotas, they're all pigs to work on, have poor finish and not that fantastic to ride.

That thing is ugly.

I thought it was a GPZ500 special when I first glanced at it

Ditto (although 550)

I think it looks fucking gorgeous and If I won the lottery I'd buy it like a shot.

But I buy £5k bikes, that's so far out of my price range it will never happen
