Bimota Tesi 3d
The Bimota Tesi 3d has a top speed of ~250 km/h, produces 110 hp and weighs 198 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
Der Bimota Tesi 3D wurde 2007 als Wiederbelebung des revolutionären Hub-Center-Lenkungskonzepts von Bimota eingeführt, das ursprünglich 1990 auf dem Tesi 1D vorgestellt wurde. Anstatt einer herkömmlichen Teleskopgabel verwendet der Tesi 3D ein einzigartiges Nabenmittenlenksystem mit Schwingen vorne und hinten, das Brems- und Lenkkräfte vollständig voneinander trennt und so für eine außergewöhnliche Handlingpräzision sorgt. Es ist nach wie vor eines der technisch markantesten und exklusivsten Motorräder, die je hergestellt wurden. Die limitierte Handfertigung macht es zu einer Sammlerikone.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Hub-Center Steering System
The Tesi 3D uses a unique hub-center steering design instead of traditional forks, virtually eliminating brake dive and providing exceptional stability. However, this complex system requires specialist knowledge to service and parts can be difficult and expensive to source.
Strong Collector Resale Value
With only a few hundred units ever produced, the Tesi 3D holds its value exceptionally well and is considered a collector's piece. Low production numbers mean well-maintained examples can appreciate over time, making it a sound investment for enthusiasts.
Ducati Engine Reliability
The bike uses a Ducati 1078cc Testastretta engine, which is proven and relatively reliable, but Ducati's desmodromic valve system requires mandatory valve checks every 7,500–12,000 miles. Factor in the higher-than-average service costs before purchasing.
Generationen und Spezifikationen nach Jahr
Wiederbelebung der Nabenmittellenkung mit Ducati 1078 cm³ Testastretta-Motor, Aluminiumrahmen, hydraulisches Vorderradgestänge.
"Ein technisches Meisterwerk, das Geduld, Geld und Engagement erfordert."
Die Nabenmittenlenkung definiert die Regeln für das Vorderradgefühl wirklich neu — beim Bremsen gibt es so gut wie keinen Sturz, und Unebenheiten in der Kurvenmitte, die eine herkömmliche Gabel verunsichern würden, verschwinden einfach, was gleichzeitig unheimlich und süchtig macht. Die Testastretta DS zieht mit dem für Ducati typischen zerlumpten Bellen kräftig ab 4.000 Umdrehungen pro Minute, und der Aluminiumrahmen sorgt dafür, dass das Ganze für etwas so Exotisches überraschend komponiert ist. Aber damit zu leben ist eine echte Tortur: Das hydraulische Lenkgestänge muss alle paar tausend Kilometer akribisch überprüft werden, Bimotas Ersatzteilversorgung war schon immer eine düstere Komödie, und die Fahreigenschaften in der Stadt sind auf eine Weise strafend, die sich weniger wie „Sport“, sondern eher wie „Strafe“ anfühlt. Zum fast doppelten Preis einer Ducati 1098 zahlen Sie für einen philosophischen Streit über das Motorraddesign — einen, den Bimota auf dem Papier überzeugender gewinnt als auf dem Weg zur Arbeit am Montagmorgen.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"Extraordinary ownership experience, but only for the deeply committed."
$18,000-$32,000 usedThe Tesi 3D is one of those bikes that stops people dead in their tracks, and that hub-center steering setup genuinely changes how front-end feedback works through corners. It's not faster than a conventional sportbike, but the way it separates braking forces from steering inputs is properly addictive once you've dialed it in. Ducati's 1078cc Testastretta engine means parts aren't a complete nightmare to source, which is the only reason I'd say this is remotely sensible as a used purchase. Here's the brutal truth though — budget seriously for maintenance. These are hand-built Italian exotica from a tiny manufacturer that's gone through financial trouble multiple times. Finding a specialist mechanic who understands the steering geometry is genuinely hard, and some owners report sitting on waiting lists for Bimota-specific components. Inspect the hub-center linkages obsessively before buying, because worn bearings there create handling characteristics that'll genuinely scare you. If you find a well-documented, low-mileage example with full service history, it's a legitimate piece of motorcycle art that rides as uniquely as it looks. Just go in with eyes wide open about running costs.
