It could reach a top speed of 250 km/h / 155.3 mph.

Engine[edit | edit source]

The engine was a Liquid cooled cooled Four stroke, 90°“L”twin cylinder, DOHC, desmodromic 4 valves per cylinder. The engine featured a 10.4:1 compression ratio.

Chassis[edit | edit source]

It came with a 120/70-17 front tire and a 180/55-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via 2x 320mm discs 2 piston calipers in the front and a Single 230mm disc 1 piston caliper in the rear. The front suspension was a Swinging arm with Marzocchi single shock stepless preload 10-way compression and 25-way preload damping adjustment. while the rear was equipped with a Marzocchi single shock stepless preload 10-way compression and 25-way preload damping adjustment. The Tesi ID851 was fitted with a 16 Liters / 4.2 us gal fuel tank. The bike weighed just 188 kg / 414.5 lbs.. The wheelbase was 1410 mm long.

A Bimota Tesi 3 / D Factory.


Bimota Tesi is a number of motorcycles produced by the Italian manufacturer Bimota .

The prototype was developed in , but you have to wait until 1990 to see the commercialization of the approved version for road use: Thesis 1 / D.

Thesis 2 / D, the work of an Italian coach who had made their own (Vyrus 984 C³ 4V), continues the interrupted series in 1994 , followed in 2007 by Tesi 3 / D, with which the project has arrived to the present day.


Apart from the prototypes and a competition model, all marketed Theses are equipped with two-cylinder engines The production . The main innovation of the Bimota Tesi is the presence of a front fork equipped with steering wheel hub instead of the classic telescopic fork.

The operating principle of this system is intended to separate the function of "steering" by that of "suspension" (interdependent in the fork) and to drastically reduce the effect of "sinking" of the classic fork braking almost to cancel it and contribute to maintain a better stability of the bike and road holding.


The telescopic fork, which is mounted on the vast majority of the bikes homologated for road use, combines both the function of steering than that of the suspension, so that the action of a irretrievably influences the other. The concept developed by engineer Difazio is to completely separate the guide from the suspension. In this way, undesirable interactions between the two functions disappear. The setting of the bike does not change during braking as with a traditional fork. That provision also allows you to change the geometry of the bike (wheelbase, caster), though without affecting the dynamic behavior.

This is not the first time this technique is used (as it was the motorcycle ELF X and its derivatives), but until now had never left out of the racing circuits. With the Thesis, Bimota transposes it into an approved motorcycle.

The two swing arms are connected by a in Omega. The wheel hub is formed by two conical bearings and an axis.

Through a series of rods and referrals, it is connected to a steering pin is located on the left side of the motorcycle, bound to the frame. A further transmission rod connects the handlebars

.

The frame is reduced to two side plates which embrace the engine and supporting the tank, the handlebars and the rear seat and equipped with pins at the ends, to which are connected the swing arms, with consequent saving in weight.


But this architecture requires the construction of a very large number of components to realize the front suspension, with the corresponding increase in costs.

These pieces must be properly sized to withstand the high stresses to which they are subjected during braking.

Moreover, the assembly and maintenance of the steering linkage must be made with extreme care, to minimize the play between them, deleterious for the driving precision. It should also be taken into account that the front fork sharply increases the turning radius, making complicated parking maneuvers , although this disadvantage has been reduced on Thesis 3 / D through the adoption of an arm made of tube trellis, allowing the use of tubes of small section from the smaller footprint without going to the expense of stiffness.
