I ride a hog I got when I was 19; a 1993 Low RideR? But I would RocK that ThinG if the made a few adjustments on the seat , so I could keep my rear PlanteD, and as long as it coulD WheeL StanD! A gold wing can? I am sure that thing should, definetly breaking into new style grounds with that one. Looks very interesting?

Just an excercise in design. It would never come close to looking that way if Ferrari produced a bike.

Looks like the handle bar movement isn’t taken into consideration. There would need to be dents/cutouts to accommodate turning. Where are the brakes? The body work doesn't seem to look comfortable for a person’s knees.

All this aside, it’s pretty. I doubt Ferrari would ever build a motorcycle though :(

The brakes are on the rim of the wheels.

I'm not really diggin it. The design doesn't do much for me. Just my .02

I think i would slip right off the back of that thing.

Buell was first to production on the ZTL (Zero Torsional Load) rotor.
It seems funny that Ferrari would copy that since it isn't the most optimal braking for a super bike. It sure looks cool though.

I used to have a Buell Firebolt. I didn't mindthe brakes. They did fine once you got used to the different feel. They are, however, inferior to hub based rotors and nearly anyone who races a Buell upgrade to super bike brakes and go with dual rotors off the hub.

I would think Ferrari would have read one of the many many critiques on ZTL brakes. Nearly all are negative.

BTW, there is already a Ferrari of motorcycles and it's name is 1098r.

Sorry- I'd be in for a Desmesedecci RR

Yech. Rossi would not throw a leg over that.


There is not enough seat to ride the bike aggressively..

As for the Ferrari, I prefer naked bikes so this one does nothing for me. Neat looking but I wouldn't ride it even if I could afford it.

It's body work looks exactly like the 848 and looking at Ducati's site I took away from it that the 1098r is still top dawg.

It seems the 1198 more pocket book friendly and 10 hp less counterpart of the 1098. More for the masses.
