Maybe some of you lot know of this,but it's news to me. Built in the 90s.
Quite an old MV vibe going on,to my eyes.

I vaguely remember that.

Hideous!

I wonder why that disappeared quickly and silently

Very limited run and all bought by collectors, or just hidden away in a warehouse. (Or both)

Yeah, I remember that one.
Sandcast casings and so on
Liked it cos its smart that people built them but I didn't want one.

Or buried because people were too embarrassed to admit that had one

If I remember correctly it's got nothing to do with Ferrari

IIRC they were built by a guy who built their F1 engines and he got permission to use the Ferrari name. To me they look like a bad AI generated GSXR.

If you join the Ferrari club (I think you need to own a Ferrari though) then they send out a magazine that is full of really interesting historical stuff, they've been associated with a few motorcycles, one used the V8 from the Ferrari 355, a car I've owned and I can only imagine what the motorcycle was like with that lump squeezed into it and through history they've joined up with other manufacturers, notably Rudge pre-WW2 but I can't find much out about it apart from a few references on Google and the Ferrari website.

As far as I know though they've never actually made a motorcycle, they've just collaborated at various levels or let someone else associate their designs/concepts with them.

I'd love to find that my Rudge was raced by a Ferrari rider, I've got some pictures of unions or collections that I wouldn't have automatically thought of, but some people obviously have the same tastes as me and put cars/bikes together that might not immediately be obvious but I've got the same.
