Interesting...I had read about this, years ago, but the article only had one pic, and it was almost mythical.
Metzler tires, (fairly narrow rim width, as was "the time"), and I hope it hasn't been run in place much, with
those filter less velocity stacks.

For something designed and built late '88/'89 ish, pretty remarkable in terms of detail; obviously the "Bimota" effect.
Cool, but not sure it's worth $300Gs, except for its one off rarity.

Makes my '87 Honda Hurricane 1K, look like, well...a Honda, ;>)

Good dig out, Amacman!
GL, mD

I agree on the beaut part, but for $300Gs, I could buy a couple great cars, a couple,three more m'cycles, more gold,
and still have a few quid left over to toss at the kids. Add in the "don't ride it much, if ever" factor, and it's a damn
expensive living room centerpiece.

I wonder how the internals are, "sitting" for a decade, plus. And, new tires are needed, if one really wants to take their
retirement money for a spin, lol!

You going on the road and doing a few bank jobs, to pay for your
desire?! :rofl:

amacman 08-18-2010 10:07 PM

how did you get to hear of that repute
I was only joking , honest , It`s usually the banks doing the jobs on the unwary .

I've seen this one-off for sale several times in the past on bike forums. I assume one reason it has yet to sell, is nonexistent spares. Belongs in a museum, IMO.

I am going to buy it and jump it over 14, no, 15 garbage cans in front of my local drive-in diner. It'll be a symbol of how cool I am. :D

Looks cool but overpriced? Am I correct in reading that piero merely authorized the use of their logo and ferrari had nothing at all to do with its production?
