dorifto240 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'm looking at photos of Bimota's Tesi, and other similar front suspension setups, and I can't figure out how you steer. Or is it all lean?Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 They talk about the steering at about the 10 minute mark.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez5xO0jTWvE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 it appears that steering is on the other side...you can't effectively steer with "just lean" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jst2fst Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Not gonna lie the bike looks sick... I'd just be worried about the steering the first time I rode it. But still a sweet looking ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vw151 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Why is everyone afraid of the steering. Although it does it in a different way it seems to still steer like a regular motorcycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Who needs steering? Busa' guys have been doing without for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it does it in a different way it seems to still steer like a regular motorcycle.I'm not afraid of it, I just didn't know how it worked. All the photos I saw it looked like all the rods were attached to brackets around the wheel. I thought the wheel was effectively locked into place.
