Bimota 2005 TESI 2D - Don't miss our
latest update on the DB5 (02-18-2005)
.
.
Introduction
The Bimota born "TESI"
has continued to develop and evolve.
The project, originally started in 1990,
came to life because of the commitment of two young engineers
who named the motorcycle "TESI" (which is Italian for
"thesis") as the design, which replaces the conventionally
used hydraulic fork in the front with an innovative swing arm,
was part of their university thesis.
VDM, a company based in Rimini and owned
by former Bimota mechanic Rodorigo Ascanio, who has vast styling
and technical experience, continued research and development
on what is one of the most futuristic motorcycles ever produced.
The technical co-operation and the friendship
between Bimota and VDM, rooted within Rodorigo Ascanio's past,
led to an agreement for the limited production of the TESI 2D
by Vyrus. This project evolved from Bimota and VDM's desire to
continue the development of a motorcycle, which is distinctive
for the functional and technical aspects of its design, which
are unique in the world.
The result of this collaboration is an
extremely light motorcycle, characterized by an enormously easy
drivability, a revolutionary and exclusive style, and the inclusion
of components at the forefront of technology.
Production is limited with the care and
commitment to build quality extreme.
