2017 Bimota Tesi 3D Naked

2017 Bimota Tesi 3D Naked sits at the top end of a small, specialist range built around a single obsession: front-end feel that no telescopic fork can match. This is a hub-center steering motorcycle, which means the front wheel is controlled by a swingarm and rods rather than a conventional fork, isolating braking forces from suspension travel. In practice that translates to a bike that dives less under braking and steers with a strange, precise detachment from the road surface — something you notice within the first few corners and never quite stop noticing. It's not a bike you ride casually; it rewards riders who want to feel the mechanical logic underneath them, powered by a Ducati L-twin borrowed for character as much as performance. The 2017 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 2016 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Owners tend to be experienced riders and Ducati veterans who already understand air-cooled twins and want something rarer, plus collectors drawn to Bimota's low production numbers and the engineering novelty of hub-center steering. Values here are driven by scarcity and mechanical intrigue as much as riding dynamics.
