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.
O Bimota Tesi 3D foi introduzido em 2007 como um renascimento do revolucionário conceito de direção central central da Bimota, lançado originalmente no Tesi 1D em 1990. Em vez de um garfo telescópico convencional, o Tesi 3D usa um sistema exclusivo de direção central com braços oscilantes dianteiros e traseiros, separando completamente as forças de frenagem e direção para uma precisão de manuseio excepcional. Ela continua sendo uma das motocicletas mais tecnicamente distintas e exclusivas já produzidas, com produção limitada feita à mão, tornando-a um ícone de colecionador.

O que os compradores devem saber
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.
Gerações e especificações por ano
Renascimento da direção central usando motor Ducati 1078cc Testastretta, estrutura de alumínio e articulação hidráulica da suspensão dianteira.
"Obra-prima da engenharia que exige paciência, dinheiro e comprometimento."
A direção central do cubo reescreve genuinamente as regras da sensação dianteira: a frenagem é quase zero, e os solavancos no meio da curva que perturbariam um garfo convencional simplesmente desaparecem, o que é simultaneamente assustador e viciante. O Testastretta DS puxa com força a partir de 4.000 rpm com aquela casca caracteristicamente irregular da Ducati, e a estrutura de alumínio mantém tudo surpreendentemente composto para algo tão exótico. Mas viver com isso é uma verdadeira provação: a articulação da direção hidráulica precisa de atenção meticulosa a cada poucos milhares de quilômetros, o fornecimento de peças da Bimota sempre foi uma comédia de humor negro e a qualidade do passeio pela cidade é punitiva de uma forma que parece menos “esporte” e mais “punição”. Com quase o dobro do preço de uma Ducati 1098, você está pagando por uma discussão filosófica sobre design de motocicletas — uma que a Bimota vence no papel de forma mais convincente do que em uma viagem de segunda de manhã.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"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.
