Apple Kitten strips down to her lingerie in a Bevely Hills back alley with a sexy Bimota Tesi 3D.

March - April 2010

This Month in the 2010 Fast Dates World Superbike Calendar...
Freckle Faced Calendar Kitten Apple and the Exotic Bimota Test 3D
Calendar photographer Jim Gianatsis shot this month's March 2010 Fast Dates Calendar page of beautiful model Apple Price with the excotic Bimota Tesi D3. The picture was taken in the back alley behind Beverly Hills Ducati / Bimota in Beverly Hills, CA, who kindly supplied the bike for our Calendar shoot. The shop's customer list includes such Hollywood celebrities as Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.

The principal characteristics of the TESI 3D 1100 are the unique billet machined “Omega” pside plates which also supports and utilizes the engine as a stressed member of the chassis. Both front and rear wheels are suspended with the unique Bimota trellis swingarms, now a trademark of Bimota.

The front wheel operates in with a hub center steering system. The benefits of hub center steering include the absence of frontend dive under braking. Front suspension remains fully functional in these conditions and allows unparalleled corner entrance stability and mid-turn control. An additional benefit is the resulting ability to use softer front suspension settings, adding an uncommon level of comfort and control in lower speeds too.

The TESI 3D is equipped with a braking system created by Bimota and is characterized by the radial calipers put on the lowest point of the hub. The lightweight wheels are in forged aluminium alloy and are produced by the MARVIC exclusively for the Tesi 3D.

The 3D is powered by Ducat's workhorse 1100DS aircooled 2-Valve 1180cc V-twin rated at around 100hp. The power is not exceptional, but housed in this super lightweight chassis with a wet curb weight of just 370 lbs. (168kg), this sexy girl is a rocket ship on twisty roads.

The design of the TESI 3D project was created by Bimota’s Enrico Borghesan, who has dressed it in carbon fiber to dramatically reduce the weight of the bike. The distinctive rear section is formed of structural carbon fiber. Lightweight, function and elegant design combine beautifully. The bike is available in Red / White like our Calendar bike, and with it Carbon Fiber bodywork unpainted. Retail is $36,000.

The Editor completes his 4 Generation Ducati Superbike Collection
by Jim Gianatsis, FastDates.com editor, photographer

I really never thought much of the quirky, temperamental and underpowered Ducati sportbikes of that era. I did have the chance to ride the first generation Ducati 851/888 street sportbikes around 1990, but just wasn't impressed with their slow steering and not very exciting powerbands. Then one Sunday morning ride in 1993 my buddy Scott Reif, who worked at Honda HRC and had new bike brands for testing, let me ride the new Ducati 916 Superbike. The first corner I lean it into the bike took control and did everything for me...it was so much better handling than anything I'd ridden before, and with the broad torquey power band, I was a converted Ducati believer for life.

Within a few months I had purchased my own 916, but felt it was still in need of a little more power. A call to my friend Eraldo Ferracci, who then ran the Ducati AMA Superbike team, my 916 soon had a 955cc big bore kit, full Termignoni race exhaust system, cams, reprogrammed computer chip and Jerry Branch ported heads. Definitely the best sport bike of the era.

Jim in the 2002 Ducati World Superbike pits with the Fast Dates Calendar Kittens, and World Champion Troy Bayliss with his first title winner, the 998 Testastretta Superbike.

In subsequent years my Ducati Superbike collection grew with the new 998R Testastretta engined Superbike of 2001, a 999R generation in 2005, and now the current generation 1198R model. Then to complete my collection with all four generations of Ducati Superbikes, I found on Ebay and immaculate like-new 1994 last production 888SPO limited edition model.

The latest generation 1098/1198 Testastretta engined models are the best yet, and make more power than one could ever use on the street. With the Full-race Termignoni exhaust and CPU the 1198R model is making around 200hp, close to what the intake restricted 1198F factory Corse bikes are currently running in World Superbike.

The production 1098/1198 and S model Superbikes with Ohlins suspension is the best value, with this one exception. To lower production costs on the latest generation 1098/1198 Superbikes, Ducati eliminated the adjustable 24.5° / 23.5° rake steering provided as standard on previous generation models, and still provided on the 1198R chassis required for racing homologation. The current base model 1098/1198 frames' steering angle is fixed at 24.5° just like the first generation 955/988 Superbikes and at this rake the bike is just too slow turning for the track or twisty canyon riding. Like the Ducati Corse factory teams I run my bikes at there quicker 23.5° where the handling is really flawless. When I asked Ducati why they eliminated the adjustable steering head from the base 1098/1198s they told me that 90% of their Superbike model owners never changed the adjustable steering head from the 24.5° degree setting they came with as stock from the factory, so they saw no need to continue it (those owners obviously weren't riding their bikes hard enough to know better). Note that other popular production superbikes like the GSXR and CBR do come standard with their frame steering head angles fixed at the quicker, better handling 23.5° setting.

My professional duties these days include running my motorsports ad agency Gianatsis Design Associates and producing the World Superbike endorsed Fast Dates Racebike Swimsuit Model Calendars and FastDates.com Website. I shoot the Fast Dates Calendar at one of the World Superbike rounds each year, where the Calendar Kittens also serve as the official team Ducati Corse umbrella girls on race day for the Ducat team. The Calendars since 1990 have featured every generation Ducati World Superbike Championship winning bike from Doug Polen's 888 to Troy Corser, Carl Fogarty and Troy Bayliss 916/955/998 bikes, to Troy Bayliss' 999 and 1198 winners.

Doug raced the same and similar Ferracci 888 Superbikes to take the 1991 and 1992 World Superbike Championships.
