Steering Question

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!

They talk about the steering at about the 10 minute mark.

it appears that steering is on the other side...

you can't effectively steer with "just lean"

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

No problem. I didn't watch all of it, just skipped to the steering. Kinda cool actually.

Why is everyone afraid of the steering. 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.
