2013 Bimota Tesi 3D Naked

2013 Bimota Tesi 3D Naked sits at the sharp end of the small Rimini manufacturer's lineup, built around the hub-center steering front end that has defined the Tesi name since the late 1980s. This is not a bike you ride casually. The front suspension setup separates steering from braking forces in a way telescopic forks never can, which means the handling character rewards a rider willing to relearn some habits at the limit, particularly under trail braking into a corner. Power comes from a Ducati-sourced L-Twin, so the mechanical idiom is familiar even as the chassis is anything but. The 2013 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 2012 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. This is a bike for experienced riders who already own or have owned conventional sportbikes and want something mechanically distinct, plus collectors drawn to Bimota's low-volume production and the Tesi's engineering pedigree. Given the brand's scarcity and high collector interest, buyers should expect to pay a premium for documented maintenance history over cosmetic condition alone.
