Default Bimota Tesi

If anyone has a few quid lying around and is looking for somewhere to put it other than under the mattress, this is worth considering...



Weighs-in at 150 kg, hub-centre steering, lots and lots of CNC components and a wonderful Ducati engine note too.

It's being offered by an Italian seller on Ebay.

It's my dream motorcycle, closely followed by a Honda NR.

Bimota used engines from different manufacturers:

The YB3 was Yamaha, SB6 Suzuki, Tesi Ducati ..... and the one that bankrupted the company, the V-Due engine was built by Bimota IIRC
