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.
