Have we done this yet ?

Ferrari V4 Motorcycle 149 | HybridLava

Sexy engine. Hideous body. Aerodynamic though.


MODS. If this has a thread, please feel free to delete.

It reminds me of an ice cream scoop....

I wish they'd do a close-up of the controls.

Kaneda's bike looked badass. That looks like some kind of Batman Action Figure accessory. Ugly! One thing about Ferrari, they're very striking. Not always good looking, but striking.

I know I've seen that thing before, but I did a search & can't find any instances of "max rebo", so it must've been on a different forum.

I've seen it before & this is still my reply:





with all-do respect to Ferrari... that thing is hideous

Hope the bike isn't as slow as their webpage

tick tock, tick tock


*EDIT*
Firefox thinks the bike is totally lame. Probably why IE brought it right up.

Fugly for this bike is doing fugly a disservice as an adjective. It reminds me of the early Ferrari's from the 50's

Yea I'm calling bullshit on this one. Ferrari had nothing to do with designing that thing. Thats someone messing around on there home computer. No respecting design company would make a bike that has no place for the actual rider, let alone crappy layer photoshop work.

Yeah this "concept" is pretty old. I guess you could say it was aerodynamic, but only without a rider. I always hate it when designers flaunt concepts to the public that aren't actual things. Call me when you have a real one, or at least something that has a chance of actually being produced.

It's like "hey guys, I have a concept of a new car THAT HOVERS, here's a cool picture, see how it's hovering....btw, don't ask me how to get it to hover..."

That's what this is "...a modified engine from a Ferrari Enzo!...hand controls are from a F-16 fighter jet and buttons are from a Forumla 1 race car."

Now if this guy really had a modified enzo engine, and mocked up a frame and mounted those controls and rode it around the block THEN I might be interested, but this article was posted in 2009. I'm assuming this guy just designed it for fun/recognition, and then all these "news" websites shove it in the non-motorcycling public faces and they're like "oh hot dang that's one of them thar ferrari motorcycles! I bet that goes faster than a bullfrog in a beetle bucket!"

But that's just how I imagine it...
