Default Bimota Tesi 3D

Another expensive Italian Exotic that I'll never own. I like the Hub-steering although that's been done before on Concept Bikes.

Hub center steering has been done before on more than concept bikes. The Tesi 1D and 2D both had it as well as the Yamaha GTS 1000.

It's definitely a cool looking bike.

Yes, Bimota has been making hub steered bikes since the very early 90's.

Better sit down if you haven't priced one of those yet... recall a price well north of 30Gs

The DB5 is about 33k. The Tesi 2D came out at 48K. I'm expecting this bike to be about 50K+. Seem's like a bargain considering cheesy OCC theme bikes run at 100k and up.

Yes, but only 5% of the population will appreciate this bike. 80% of the population will see that occ logo and go oooohhhh, tv stars made this bike. Granted it prob wont start and you can barely ride them 10mi.
