Bimota Tesi 3D edizione finale (Final Edition)

[Exige]

Completely loony!

I haven’t been so gobsmacked by a bike in ages. I love it and not just mildly. It’s an event just looking at it and as I understand it you’re going to ride it? Very glad to hear it.

Everything is going on in totally different directions, it shouldn’t all go together like a visual cacophony but it works.

165Kg dry? 165! I wish the current trend in motorcycle manufacturing was to add lightness. It’s weird, I can’t look at that bike and say less is more though, there’s so much going on. I’d love to see it for real.

And then I look at that Yamaha and my heart sinks. Chalk and cheese. I couldn’t swing a leg over it, I really couldn’t, let alone be seen in public riding it. As I’ve previously described one other bike, it would be like shagging a fat bird.

It pained me for weeks thinking of buying it as I'd been looking for an upright, comfy and lower powered bike for cafe and seaside runs for 3 years around about the £10k mark. Everything that suited and that I actually liked was 170+ BHP! These popped up and I struggled with myself to justify it, but then realised my business could change it's promo bike and I get the VAT back too - boom! The deal was done

The Yamaha isn't Hub Centre steered - it has a Fork and tele lever type system like the fat boy BMW's

 

[Exige]

Not all

That's not hub centre either now is it - it's like the Yamaha nice though, I could have saved me some money

 

[Exige]

Is that a Multistrada?

Does your post need moving somewhere?

Much nicer than a Fugley

I prefer the original Yam GTS1000 on which the Tesi is based.

It’s nice they copied The Panzer’s front suspension……..

One of my instructors had a GTS1000, he liked it. Then a work colleague had one, too, another colleague with a fireblade made a comment about the weight of the front and scurried off when his ignorance was pointed out

What do you mean by ‘see above’. Only you put floorboards on ceilings, so when you say see above do you mean below (for normal folk).

You don't see time as purely linear, do you?

I’ve just got out of bed, second cup of coffee and
you’ve frazzled my brain already thinking about time

Are you saying there is a glitch in the matrix?

Just got out of bed?

Or was it hours ago?

Or is it yet to happen?

How can you truly know?

The glitch is the Matrix. The Matrix is the glitch.

That’s easy the wife told me

According to aircon, the only measurement of time is when the big hand touches the small hand....

He's being silly (Yam is not hub centre ) the Elf Racer pre dated the Tesi 1D but was a single arm and the fact it could only have 1 front disc was it's achilleas heel, the Tesi design corrected this.



The Ner-a-Car pre dates them all - here's JAT on one back in the day

Were these ever fitted with the big water cooled engines, you know, for real men?

Tesi 1D which was heavier had the 888 Engine which was not much more output and your Dad has one he's indeed a real man but it skips a generation

Tesi 2D was mainly badged as a Vyrus some of which had 1098R motors

 

[Andyb]

Surely the 2D are the rare and valuable ones then?

Why does value always have to matter, I bought it to use - you’re obsessed with 1098R Values
