Bimotatesi­2d

- º

Just look at it. Evolved from Bimota’s original Tesi 1D, the 2D of the early 2000s was unfaired to fully show off the engineerin­g in its ‘omega’ frame and hub-centre steering. And it works too: the separate load paths for the suspension, brake and steering forces mean the agility of a 250cc sportsbike yet with utter stability and total composure over bumps. Made for Bimota by Vyrus (which was set up by ex-bimota staff), just 250 examples of the 992cc Ducati-powered Tesi 2D were made – and only three in this black and carbon scheme. It’s only done 1500 miles.
