Backwards Motorcycle: The Bimota Tesi 3D

Many designers create concepts that are far out and crazy, but few of these designs go beyond the sketching stage. One crazy design that has seen production is the Bimota Tesi 3D. The Tesi is an atypical motorcycle that has been in small scale production for a few years now. Instead of using traditional fork, the front end of the bike is constructed of a shock and subframe, just like the rear. Steering is handled by a hub and linkage. The Tesi highlights the value of imagination, and the craziness that can come from a small boutique company. Check out the link for Bimota's homepage; unfortunately it is all in Italian, but there are some other cool designs.
