If i'm reading this right, it doesn't actually have anything to do with Ferrari other than that some asshat decided to use their name and engine in his flight of fancy.



100% correct. I'm not sure how anyone determined that they did. Mr. Asshat took a bunch of pics off the web for the engine, wheels, brakes, and went to town on photochop for the rest. There is no "serious engineering" here - thankfully!

Somebody get a pic without the body and photoshop something decent onto it.

Don't think Ferrari would go two wheels but Maserati did.  This bike is in the Barber Museum in Birmingham and if you haven't been there, it is fabuloso.

It looks like it comes from the Sears catalog.  [puke]

About the same time you're dragging your knees through a series of tight left-right-handers on Sunday afternoon, some guy in white shoes is sweating a 3-foot putt. Go figure.

There was a "Ferrari" motorcycle at one time in the mid-sixties.  It had nothing to do with Ferrari Spa though. 

The Scuderia Ferrari DID have a raceteam of motorcycles in the early days before they started running the Alfa raceteam. (http://www.modelfoxbrianza.it/MotoScuderia.htm)

As for Amir's "Ferrari V4 motorcycle" as pictured above?  Ferrari just stepped in and slapped with with a restraining order for use of their name, identification, etc that he put on the illustration created.  Thus he has had to remove from this website else face more draconian action from Ferrari.  (too bad because I thought it was rather cool looking -- everyone realized it wasn't really a "Ferrari")
