Limited Edition Bimota Tesi 3D Is Up For Sale In The UK – RM179,000!

The Bimota Tesi 3D made its appearance in 2007 and quickly garnered attention due to its unusual design scheme.

When the Tesi 3D production came to a close, Bimota celebrated the event by producing a Naked Edizione Finale version limited to 45 units.

However, three limited-edition units are now up for sale in England with the price of GBP31,995 (RM179,000).

Not only that, but the used motorcycle dealership also offering a two-year, unlimited mile warranty with every purchase of the Tesi 3D includes a certificate of authenticity.

The mighty Ducati 1098 engine powers the Tesi engine with the unit, clamped between two machines aluminium plates, with all other components mated to these plates, including front and rear swingarms.

The front swingarm is mated to the plate on both sides, and an Ohlins shock attached to the right in a cantilevered position.

The handlebar’s shaft is connected to horizontal shafts on each side that steers the front wheel, for a hub centre steering setup.

The Limited Edition Tesi 3D will surely be a great addition to every collectors and motorcycle enthusiast.

India Only 2021 Honda CB350 RS Launched – 21HP, 29Nm!

Last year, Honda introduced the H’ness CB350 to go against the famous Royal Enfield Classic 350 in India.

The introduction of the H’ness led to speculation that the manufacturer is also seeking to launch a modern cafe racer-ish motorcycle for 2021.

And here it is, the new CB350 RS, a modern take based on the H’ness CB350 with the main differences are with the styling and a few mechanical tweaks.

The RS comes with a new paint job and dual colour option with black finishing visible on the engine and exhaust.

Nevertheless, the RS is still powered by the same 348cc single-cylinder engine that produces 21hp and 29Nm mated to a 5-speed gearbox with slipper clutch.

However, currently, the CB350 RS is only available in India, and we have no idea whether we will be able to see it up close anytime soon.

Bajaj Pulsar NS250 & RS250 To Break Cover In India Later This Year

Recently, Bajaj allegedly will introduce a 400cc version of the Pulsar RS, sharing the same platform as the Dominar.

However, the latest updates suggest that the Pune-based motorcycle manufacturer will launch a 250cc version of the Pulsar NS and RS later this year.

The report indicates that Bajaj has produced a prototype of the 250cc twins with the road testing will commence soon.

The report came as no surprise as Bajaj has already introduced a 250cc version of the Dominar and is enjoying considerable success in India.

That said, we can expect the Pulsar NS250 and RS250 to come equipped with the same component as you get on the Dominar 250 such as inverted fork and LED headlights.

Currently, the 248.8cc single-cylinder engine that powers the Dominar 250 produces 24hp @ 8,500rpm and 23.5Nm @ 6,500rpm.

KTM To Develop A Track Only RC890?

KTM is said to be working on a new concept motorcycle specifically built for track days.

According to Speedweek, they managed to track down a prototype, an 890cc two-cylinder motorcycle.

This is not the first time a KTM engine has been turned into a track-only machine, as Kramer Motorcycles developed GP2 890 R with the 890 Duke engine.

However, the images shown are not a motorcycle built by Kramer; instead, reports suggest this is a bike built 100% by KTM.

In 2014, KTM was rumoured to produced a slightly lower spec of the MotoGP RC16 machine for the mass market.

Sadly, the idea was opposed by KTM CEO, Stefan Pierer.

“f you want to build a racing motorcycle as close as possible to the MotoGP version, it costs so much money that nobody can or will pay for it,” he said.

Nevertheless, the track-only prototype still gets us feeling excited even though we have yet to know when will the motorcycle be made for the public.

In this video, we take it for a spin with some friends and see what it is like. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTiger #TriumphTiger900

We like motorcycle boots that don't look like motorcycle boots. That just adds versatility to them and allows you to use them for purposes other than just riding. That's the first thing we like about the Eleveit Nirvana WP boots, but there are things we don't quite like either. Watch the video to find out! #Eleveit #EleveitBoots #MotorcycleReview

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
