Poor thing. It's been sitting since new and never been run. It will require a complete service before you could run it.
There are several Tesi 1D sitting in the USA that trade hands but never run because no one wants to pay the huge bill for the service

Although it wouldnt bother me.....a lot of owners or potential buyers see the "value" or worth as being zero miles never run.....for me....gas it and run it...well...after all the usual checks and recommissioning costs that is....strange its for sale so soon.....it only sold last year in France on ebay....reached about £20K.....with all the spares as stated...and...there was a large watercolour original artwork painting with the sale also.....must be still in France or on some Americans wall....

Nice bike....needs riding though

Sorry if it is offensive....

the zero mile thing is SUCH a boomer trait.
They just want to sit quietly and look at their "investments"

I honestly think the newer generation of collectors is REALLY starting to look down on those vehicles.

In the same way the market moved away from over restored muscle cars in favor of survivors.

For sitting this long, getting it road worth, how difficult is it to change the belts? I heard it is pretty involved. On my DB4 it is pretty easy.

Each to his own I say.... I wouldn’t do it but I can understand the interest in a brand new 0 mile bike. Out of the many many bikes I’ve owned, only 2 of them were bought new. I do enjoy ‘looking’ at my bikes, but also enjoy riding them

I heard that the frame plates have to come off?

On my Ducatis, the belt change is hilariously easy.
Makes you wonder what all those people on forums are talking about when quoting silly dealer prices and hours of work.

I just bought a Suzuki RF900 with 2km on the clock. It was an opportunity I couldn't miss as it was the right price and I know it has been sitting in a lounge room it's whole life. Never a bike I had any interest in, but now that I've got it, I just like looking at it. It's in such amazing condition for a 24 year old bike. It's a real time warp and museum piece. I can now see the appeal of a NOS bike.

I'm in the process of re=commissioning it. Finishing cleaning the carbs in the next few days. The main problem is the tank latch is stuck due to corrosion so I can't gt the tank open. Apparently a common Suzuki thing. I will work on that slowly and just run it on an auxiliary tank until I sort the main tank.

Will I ride this bike? Probably not. It won't be much different to my FZ1 and won't offer any new riding experiences so I'll leave it as a time warp 0km bike.

To put a new battery in.....As I presume it will need one...you have to take the battery box out with the old one insitu.....bit like on a Db1....But...to do this on a Tesi1D...you need to take the RHS Omega plate off....so you may as well strip the whole bike and do everything...new fuel lines.....bearings....etc etc etc....as the omega plates hols the swingarms in place....so its wheels off....brakes off....omega plate off and swingarms dangling around...just for the battery...

Wow that’s pretty cool Bud! A nice addition to the stable and definitely a conversation starter

Haha that’s SO Bimota isn’t it. Battery is nackered.... time for a complete rebuild on the bike. The way that I go through batteries, I’d be rebuilding the bike before every ride

Hello,
To change the battery on a Tesi 1D you just need to remove the fairing as the battery box is outside the frame plates. But removing a Bimota' fairing is never simple.

But to change the engine belts...yes it will require a complete strip of the bike...frame plates, wheels, swing arms. A lot of work hours and more complicated to put back together than to dismount...

Cheers

Sold".......it went for 76000 USD

I bet the seller will be happy and is in line with the 56000 euros for the Tesi 1dsr on the Italian site

....although that one is VIN no 1 of that production run, as the seller told me

With Bitcoin at 35000 gbp and Lockdown No3 just announced....the world is going in a unpredictable direction

Have a good 2021

I'm in the process of finishing off a service on my 1D pain in the arse but at least I can ride her when I'm done. You don't have to strip the whole bike, just the front end and one side plate.

I don't think that the case. Argument here is that anything can be original only once. Hence survivors are more desirable than those vehicles that lost their originality due to restoration.

Virtually zero mile original (not restored) vehicles are doing gangbusters on Bring A Trailer.
