Features and handling differ by generation. Use this overview to find the right version.
Years
1991 - 1994
1991-1994 Tesi 1/D 906, SR, ES and EF
GenerationThe later Tesi 1/D family uses Bimota’s enlarged Ducati V-twin of about 904 cc, often referred to as 906. SR, ES and EF are version or bodywork variants within this hub-centre-steered family; always verify the exact frame plate and original components.
Years
1990 - 1991
1990-1991 Tesi 1/D 851
GenerationThe first road-going Tesi 1/D uses the Ducati 851 Desmoquattro V-twin in Bimota’s hub-centre-steered chassis. This early version is a separate technical basis from the later enlarged 904/906 family; verify engine code and numbering.
About the Bimota Tesi 1/D
The Bimota Tesi 1/D is the legendary road version of Bimota’s hub-centre-steered concept: front-wheel suspension and steering are separated through a front swingarm. The small 1990–1994 series began with Ducati 851 engines and evolved into 904/906 versions, including SR, ES and EF. On a used example, verify the frame plate, exact version and all original hub-steering parts; Tesi 1/D components are specialist items and not interchangeable with a conventional Ducati.

What to check before buying
- Inspect the complete hub-centre steering and front swingarm for play, free movement, leaks and documented specialist servicing.
- Ask for documented Ducati desmo service and cam-belt changes; age matters as much as mileage.
- Verify 851 versus 904/906 engine, version (base/SR/ES/EF) and frame plate before ordering parts.
- Inspect all bearings, steering links, joints and suspension for wear or non-original modifications.
- Check brakes, wheels, tyres, charging voltage and wiring; specialist parts availability is a buying factor.
