Tesi
Okay, I really don't care one way or the other about the Bimotas...I just wanted to get my share of "first post in thread" posts. 
Bimota content:
Uhm.....ick.

So how does the thing ride? It's gotta be about the weirdest looking thing I've ever seen. Neat from an engineering perspective, I suppose, but weird. I guess you don't have to worry much about seeing 10 others just like it every time you ride...

That's a beauty Nick...but I award myself 2 extra points for actually riding mine naked (the bike, not me.....so far...)!
Rob> The engineering and execution is the real beauty for me. I think the Tesi looks better "in the buff" than cloaked, so I've been known to ride it like that (it seems to handle better too...lower riding position?....or is it the $10k worth of bodywork no longer at risk that makes it seem faster?!).
It handles more or less like a normal bike...sans brake dive.

Hey Nick...
Is that four bikes in the background and two more in the foreground for a grand total of SEVEN BIKES?!?!?!?
Geeez... some guys have all the luck.
Beautiful. I have to go sulk now.
Cheers!
