I have the remains of the Kinetic Art Tesi racer, which I bought off a friend of mine, who purchased it from Kinetic Art, and then put it in his loft for a rainy day.
I doubt I'll do anything with it so I'll probably sell it.

Wowee, the Bimotas are certainly coming out of the woodwork, pictures will paint a thousand words to get folk interested, does the paint scheme ressemble my "avatar" i.e. the picture on the left?

I am afraid there is no bodywork or engine, its just the remains of the frame, wheels and a few other bits and pieces.

Gulp, that would be a Project, I'd contact/pm George V on the forum as he occassionally buys up such incomplete items, engine easey peasey to get, and I'm sure that Mike on the Forum has an 851 motor lying around, but bodywork and tanks.........etc....Jeeso thats a real big issue.
Engines aren't "linked" to the frames, and even V5's don't have the engine number anymore so theres no originality issue there, but it would be a project of labour of love and to hell with cost, as cost to finish would be more than value of bike to finish
Would hate to see it go the Ebay way for parts, but if you are needing the money, maybe its the only way....

If you need asssiting in listing parts you have/putting photos up I would be glad to oblige for the benefit of anyone interested, I can be emailed direct at and could put piccies up for you before you decide to go the ebay route...

Evidently so, but for Nigel with a total of 6 posts, 3 alone on this issue, he may not know yet, if I get pictures I will post for all to see and then we would all be able to decide for sure, then its up to Nige, if its been in a loft then another loft/garage, perhaps he's not that much in a hurry Laughing

I think Nigel may have dissappeared again as I believe that the Broken anodised remains of C3PO have gone to another on this Forum, but please confirm with Nige using his pm/email...cheers
