Honda ‘Ferrari’ motorcycle up for sale... and it isn't cheap!
A bright spark in Dubai is trying to flog a Honda Fireblade badged up as a Ferrari for £51k!
THE idea of a Ferrari motorcycle has been around almost as long as the iconic sports car brand themselves, with fans of the marque longing to see what a two-wheeled version of the prancing horse would look like.
And we’re pretty sure this is not it! Some clever so and so in Dubai has come up with the idea of getting some vin-plates made up for a Honda Fireblade, slapping some red paint on it and Ferrari badges and is hoping to flog the thing for £51,0000!
The VIN does indeed confirm the motorcycle was ‘Made in Italy’ although we’re pretty sure this thing would have been in the news a little bit more, hade the engineers at Maranello really had a hand in its creation.
Aside from the liberal use of Rosso Red in it’s make up, the bike also features lashings of carbon fibre, Giallo Fly yellow painted Brembo calipers and an aftermarket exhaust system. Oddly, the listing for the bike claims the power-output of the machine to be between 400 and 500bhp. Making it probably the most powerful normally aspirated FerarriBlade on the planet!
So, for the international playboy who already has a garage full of Fezzas, grab this one of a kind motorcycle to add to the collection.
Or just punch yourself in the face as that’ll probably be more rewarding in the long term.
Interestingly, Ferrari did give their name to one motorcycle, the only real Ferrari motorcycle. The Ferrari 900 was built with express permission of Ferrari Spa and went under the hammer at Bonhams and sold for £85,000 a few years back.
