Rolling art - Ferrari builds a motorcycle
 
This thing is more like sculpture than a vehicle. To me, it's amazing to look at. And I can't help but wonder, if Ferrari can make a 6-liter V12 spin at 8000RPM or more, how fast can a short-stroke, small-displacement V4 spin? F1 engine speeds? Take a look at it - it appears to be direct-injected, dry sump, remote reservoir shocks (none of which is surprising), and take a look at the rim-mounted rotors (rings?) and centrally-mounted calipers (that's used on aircraft sometimes). Awesome, and the last pic is fantastic, with the 360 Modena Spyder (they'd make a nice pair in the garage for sure). Check it out:

This is one of the few times I've ever wanted to have sex with a vehicle.

I personally think it needs a new shell but like everything else lol.

ugly as fuck

I love the mechanics, now all they need to do is get someone like Ducati to design the shell, personally it looks kinda retarded (it's too smooth for me I think)

airguard350 Oct 22, 2008 04:42 PM

I like the style, smooth and curvy like a beautiful woman.

airguard, well said lol. I love the styling of Ducatis, Aprilias, et al, and normally this wouldn't appeal to me, but I think that if anyone can pull this off, it's Ferrari, and to be honest, a Ferrari bike with more "normal" bodywork wouldn't cut it. It wouldn't seem special enough. A styling like that befits the company's repuatation and compares well with their cars - it looks like it belongs.

that looks stupid. the body is ridiculous

GHETTOxWHITExBOY Oct 22, 2008 09:47 PM

the front wheel is a little to wide and the front fairing looks like something from star wars......the fairings definately aren't sporty enough as far as a ferrari shoud be!

Wow, the first Ferrari I don't like.
