Review
The 2016 Bimota Tesi 3 D 40th Anniversary, like its 2017 counterpart, celebrates Bimota's heritage with its distinctive hub-center steering and striking design. The 1078cc engine produces 98 hp and 98 Nm of torque, delivering a satisfying riding experience. Weighing 170 kg, the Tesi 3 D offers a balanced feel, complemented by its 6-speed gearbox. The 16-liter fuel tank provides adequate range for most rides. The Tesi 3 D 40th Anniversary features an 800mm seat height, offering a sporty yet comfortable riding position. The front suspension utilizes an Öhlins monoshock, adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound damping, allowing riders to dial in their preferred settings. Brembo brakes with radial pumps offer strong and reliable stopping power. This motorcycle is designed for enthusiasts who appreciate Bimota's history and unique engineering. It's for those who seek a distinctive machine that blends performance with exclusivity. The Tesi 3 D 40th Anniversary is more than just a motorcycle; it's a statement of individuality and a tribute to Bimota's legacy.
