I'll get my daughter to put mine on here when I die, unless she wants to hang on to it that is

HA HA you so funny.

I'm talking about a full size Tesi, not a 1/12 Tamiya model.

My daughter has a boyfriend

Thanks

I actually have the Tamiya model still in the box.

Mine has at the moment under 4000K on it. It has never been dropped - nearly - is kept in doors and only ridden when the weather is nice. No damage and I'll let my daughter know as I plan to ride it more before I go.

At the end of the day they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them.

Nice to know its still ridden...afterall they do have an engine.....I think maybe 90% of all the early Tesi Mk1;s tend to remain in collecters museums as masterpieces of engineering/art work....so really its down to how deep their pockets are and how much youre willing to take when selling...I'd rather have one sat in the lounge than a similar priced painting on the wall...at least I could then choose to ride or not...the same cant be said for a painting

Before I got married all my Bimota's lived in the house. The Tess was in the kitchen/dining room and I used to take the cover off it when I had guests for dinner. I used to move them around for fun.
I love the reaction when I'm out on it and remember one day when I stopped for gas and a group of riders stopped at the same station and one guy was beside himself seeing it. I let him sit on it while I took his picture and he was over the moon.
Same thing happened when I was out on the SB6 one day and a young Italian saw her.
Fudging great

me thinks that some one got the price wrong. I saw one of these for sale years ago in Paris and the starting price was 23 000 euros. Must remember to get a lottery ticket next Friday
