SUPERBIKE CONCORSO ONLINE ROUND WINNERS ANNOUNCED The online round of the Ducati Superbike Concorso, in which Superbike owners from around the country competed for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy and ultimate bragging rights, reached its conclusion at the beginning of this week. 33 bikes competed in the online showdown and ranged from a 1973 750 GT to multiple entries of today's Superbike class defining 1098. The field was highly competitive and ran the gamut—even including two examples of the legendary Supermono. Demonstrating the ever-growing popularity and level of competition in the second year of the Superbike Concorso, this year's online round saw more entries, better photography and an onslaught of votes for the People's Choice—with roughly 1000 votes in the first week alone.

The Bimota Tesi project evolved from the graduation work of two mechanical engineering students who, in the beginning of the 1980’s, designed and developed a bike utilizing a swing-arm as the front section. For the name of their motorcycle they choose "TESI", the Italian word for "thesis", as the design, which replaces the conventionally used hydraulic fork in the front, was part of their university thesis. Bimota decided to commit major resources to the refinement of this project.

Further technical development led to the decision for a limited production of the TESI 2D. This project has been driven by Bimota's desire to continue the evolution of an exceptional motorcycle, distinctive for the functional and technical aspects of its design, which are unique in the world.

The TESI is an extremely light motorcycle, characterized by an enormously easy drivability, a revolutionary and exclusive style, and the integration of components at the forefront of technology.

The extraordinary Bimota Tesi 2D is the culmination of this sophisticated project, offering an amazing combination of attributes; an incredibly light machine built using the best quality high-tech components, with a revolutionary style that delivers easy handling and unique riding experience.
