38 fields on record
The 2012 Bimota Tesi 3D is an Italian sport bike known for its unusual hub-centre steering instead of a conventional fork. Its oil- and air-cooled 1,079cc Ducati V-twin makes 95 hp through a six-speed gearbox and chain. An 810 mm seat, 168 kg dry weight and 16-litre tank make it a rare, exotic machine.

How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a low-volume Italian exotic focused on razor-sharp cornering precision and engineering novelty rather than outright top-speed bragging rights.
- Built for
- A rare, boutique hyper-naked whose hub-center steering front end delivers uniquely stable, precise cornering feedback unlike any telescopic-fork competitor.
- Not ideal for
- Not suited to riders wanting long-distance comfort, pillion practicality, or a low-maintenance, easy-to-live-with daily commuter.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
