According to auction house Bonhams, this built-from-scratch motorcycle was the brainchild of MV Agusta guru David Kay, who conceived of the bike as a tribute to Enzo Ferrari.
In a letter enclosed with the motorcycle which will be auctioned soon, Enzo's son Piero granted Kay "the approval to place the Ferrari badge on your motorbike"
The product of 3,000 hours of labor, this one-off bike features:
1) A tubular chassis constructed of Reynolds 531 alloy
2) A 900cc four-cylinder engine that produces 105 horsepower
3) A dry weight of 379 lbs
4) A top speed of 165 mph
Scheduled for auction on December 20, 2008, this unusual motorcycle is expected to fetch around $300,000. Don't even try converting that to Indian Rupees. But browse on for more delicious pictures! Enjoy.
The Ferrari's 900cc engine is built from scratch, and features dual overhead cams with magnesium and alloy casings. It produces 105 horsepower at 8,800 rpm.
