2018 Bimota Tesi 3D Naked Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Bimota for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2018 Bimota Tesi 3D Naked utilizes a 1078 cc (65.8 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 100 HP (73 kW) at 7,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 94 Nm (69.3 lb-ft) at 5,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 92.8 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,250 rpm) and peak power (7,750 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Tesi 3D Naked measures 170 kg (375 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.59 HP/kg (1.7 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,390 mm (54.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
