If this is a repost I apologize. I did a quick search.

This may not be the first effort at creating a Ferrari motorcycle, but it may very well be the best. Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari, the departed son of company founder Enzo, was said to have raced specially-prepared motorcycles in the 1950s. In the 1970s, Kay Engineering crafted a racing bike, now said to be worth half a million dollars, with full factory backing to honor Enzo Ferrari. In the '80s, legendary motorcycle designer Arlen Ness styled a one-off chopper on the Testarossa, while some guy named George crafted a pair of Ferrari-powered superbikes. Last year someone built a custom Scuderia Ferrari chopper for the retiring Michael Schumacher (who has since been trying his hand at motorbike racing), and earlier this year a collector crafted a model of what a Ferrari sportbike could look like. We're sure some more will be brought to our attention in the comments below, but while some of these creations have been more convincing than others, this one has to be the slickest.

The concept motorbike is the work of Israeli designer Amir Glinik, who centered his design around the theoretical application of the Ferrari Enzo's V12 engine, chopped down to four cylinders and modified to drive just one wheel in a motorcycle frame. Around the V4 engine, Glinik has designed a fluid shape that may appear more futuristic in its styling than inspired by current roadcar designs, but certainly catches your attention. Glinik has even planned out the theoretical controls, which blend elements from an F-16 fighter jet (more common in his home country than Ferraris, anyway) and the Scuderia's high-tech Formula One steering wheel, supplemented by a weatherproof touch-screen LCD atop the fuel tank.

Onetime Ferrari designer Frank Stephenson, now at arch-rival McLaren, was quoted as saying that the closest the average person will get to owning a Ferrari would be a Ducati. True as that may be, what you see here may be the most well thought-out and enticing application of the Ferrari ethos to two-wheeled motoring we've seen yet.

So it's for the next Disney movie?

 

I like how its so "aerodynamic"..........without the rider.

Whats protecting the rider? Nothing. Probably has a worse drag coefficient than a dirtbike.

Gross, even for a concept.

 

 

yea thats quite ugly as most concepts are but that one is just pushing that ugly point and low functionality really hard.. BOOOO

 

Doesn't Ferrari know about copyright infringement? I mean this isn't the first bike of it's kind, we've all seen that new Christian Bale movie. Since when did Fox start painting the Batbikes red?

The potentially high pricetag of this Ferrari is due to the rockets and gadgets it has laden within random compartments.

Looks like poo.

 

ferrari hasn't made cars for true drivers (or in this case riders), in 15 years. the only cars they make are for rich old people who want to go fast but don't have the skill to do so, and collectors who like to buy garage queens.

Wasn't that a Gallardo? I don't completely remember the event haha. But either way, as nice as Lambo's and Ferrari's are, they're overkill.

I think it was an Enzo Ferrari.

 

I was expecting to see something similar to the $70k ducati and then I am disappointed with this crap.

 

Sweet....a bike for Fast and Furious.

 

fugly

it was an enzo. i figure one of two things happened. 1. ferrari's sophisticated traction control system doesn't speak ebonics and it caused him to lose control into the wall, or 2. the car realized who was driving and committed suicide. i mean if eddie griffin was in u, wouldn't you run face first into the nearest wall too?

its not so much that lambos and ferraris are overkill, just over rated. ferrari tries to be the fastest thing around the track, because computers are much more precise and quicker than humans, they take as much of the human element out of the car so the driver just kinda says when to go and when to stop. lambo just tries to be fast with as much flash and flamboyance as possible.

in my opinion, not that anyone asked, best cars for drivers who enjoy driving more than having the fastest 0-60 or hp numbers, lotus and just about anything built by gordon murray.
