Ferrari motobike

Ok Mike, where did you get that photo? Is all that stuff cleverly painted plastic?

It looks kind-of real doesn't it ???

Ferrari Motorcycle ?

Wether it is Ferrari or not, i think is irrelevant. It's just awfull. If the engine is real, then ok, great power.

’sigh’

Obviously, someone had way too much time and too much aluminum laying around their crib. Looks like an Asian bike judging the front end and radiator, but then again, is that a cam belt for a 90 degree twin (Ducati)? Whatever... they could get good money at the metal recyclers.

So sweet! I'll be first in line for one of these. ;-)

Ferrari-engined bike

Ideal thing for a motorcycle museum. Will be right up there with the NSU-engined Mammoth and the American Boss Hoss. In the final analysis, though, absolute power does seem to corrupt absolutely...

Bad taste

What poor taste. Red fenders and mirrors. <shaking head>

Match + Tank full of petrol = Me happy.

That is the most aweful thing I have ever seen in my life, whoever made this has too much spare time on their hands.

Its real and I firt saw this bike in 1991...so compare it to 1991 Ninja. Since then George (builder)built the Dino and the V-12. I think the Super charged Dino is his pinnacle bike

@ 350 blown hp and 550lbs. What you see is the vintage 1991 308 and yes I have followed only to be left as a faint BB in the mirror of this bike on a 600FZR.

BTW, George is a vintage GP racer, Isle Man racer to follow this 63 year man into a corner is to leave your bike scraping K-rail concrete barrier and go skidding down the asphalt in leathers.

One must hear it and see the cam belts turn turning to understand.

100% surplus aircraft aluminum.

I have the Dino blown v-6 and new V-12 under construction photos.

keyword with this would be "experimental" first you have to make sure it works, THEN work on looks you stupid whiners

Ferrari Motorcycle ?

Just appreciate it for the fact of how hard it probably was to make and fix all the issues. You people who blab on about it looks asian, or base colors, etc are just little whiny bitches...say something positive for all the time he put into it. Next guy who says something negative I hope you get some nasty hemroids...you trash talking bitches....great job by the way...nicely done and that must have taken a lot of effort.

I have uploaded new pictures to Mike of the Ferrari bikes (3) and the new v-12 (two honda sixs)at 70 -degrees.

It takes George approximately 4 years to construct one of these. They are painstakingly built in barrowed garages with the only pre-fab parts being 60% of the original engine, forks and brakes. All the big car parts are removed, engine rotated transverse, oil pan removed, engine cut away from a CB1000 transmission, crank removed and counter weights cut away to slide and weld in transmission drive gear in, crank weights welded in and crank rebalanced, heads turned around and the engine runs in reverse, trips to the airspace guys to build adapter in aluminum to mate CB1000 trans to aluminum engine, all electronics, drive pullys and cam gears are custom lathed....etc to the point of lathing

bak-o-lite base for the distributor. Then a gig is build with the engine on the floor and slowly the frame ,tank, rear swing, cooling system and exhauts are all frabricated. This isn't some bumpkin putting a V-8 chevy in a 1200 pound frame; this is a real running bike that will do 200 mph in just a few seconds.

The shown older bike circa 1990 ( 700lbs, thats right 16 years old now) was built to the standards of time. The newer 1997 bike built with a Ferrari Dino V-6 is un-believable at 500lbs. Solid aluminum. I have a 749 Ducati and I'd trade 10 for this gleaming stainless aluminum booming v-8. The hear it and to see it. You could have an MV and people would just walk past it to see the silver shaking bike with cam wheels and belts turning. All the store front windows on a street are shaking as it comes to life and I know of two people who have crashed on sport bikes tring to follow this bike. It has such a straight away speed that those following even on an R-1 have to carry a higher speed in the corners to catch up.

BTW this guy does have an Isle of Man bronze trophy from the late 60's and many starts in 66-72' against the greats of GP racing and a GP place in 67'.

That picture just doesn't do it justice and the newer bikes have evolved to look and have modern frames but still be these wonderful unpainted polished aluminum indvidual pieces. The critics have boring store bought copies just like my tofu Yellow Ducati 749 Super bike aginst these amazing machines.

This guy lives in a 72' VW bus at the beach and travels all summer in Europe on an RS 100 with a tent and bags.

To meet George in his garage slowly filing away on a piece of aluminum and buy him a coffee is get the wisdom of the motorcycle Buda himself.

Maybe mike will post the photos I sent of the Dino v-6

and new V-12 under construction which show the incredible detail.

Or you could just buy a plastic 999, MV, or Aprilia prefab and be comfortable that you thought this should have gas poured on it???

Wooooooooooooow I think it worth it to get, its look unreal.

Its time for Ferrari to produce right Sports Bike, looking forward for that.

..I just photographed this bike in North Vancouver..unfortunately George seemed in a hurry to get outta there ('guess he gets tired of answering the same questions)..he said the bike was 17 years old and the stock Ferrari engine was rated at 275hp at the time..good thing I found this post..it'll save me the embarrassment of trying to stay with him on my Vmax if I encounter him on the highway..took a short video clip also which I may post on u-Tube if people are interested..

Ferrari Motorcycle ?

Wow. All you fucks need a life-especially the virgins bitching about red fenders and such. Vagina is pink! Who cares!!!!. That bike is a lot of creativity. The guy that built this bike probably has more talentin his pinkie finger than you half testicled motherfuckers have in your whole bodies. I hope he used an injected motor. I don't want to be the guy fiddling with fussy ass webers,. Whatever. The bike is dated. Stuff that Columbo-wanna-be mill in a 1098. That's Italian perfection!
