Ferrari 900

Post by Skub »

Maybe some of you lot know of this,but it's news to me. Built in the 90s.
Quite an old MV vibe going on,to my eyes.

Very limited run and all bought by collectors, or just hidden away in a warehouse. (Or both)

Or buried because people were too embarrassed to admit that had one

IIRC they were built by a guy who built their F1 engines and he got permission to use the Ferrari name. To me they look like a bad AI generated GSXR.

If you join the Ferrari club (I think you need to own a Ferrari though) then they send out a magazine that is full of really interesting historical stuff, they've been associated with a few motorcycles, one used the V8 from the Ferrari 355, a car I've owned and I can only imagine what the motorcycle was like with that lump squeezed into it and through history they've joined up with other manufacturers, notably Rudge pre-WW2 but I can't find much out about it apart from a few references on Google and the Ferrari website.

As far as I know though they've never actually made a motorcycle, they've just collaborated at various levels or let someone else associate their designs/concepts with them.

I'd love to find that my Rudge was raced by a Ferrari rider, I've got some pictures of unions or collections that I wouldn't have automatically thought of, but some people obviously have the same tastes as me and put cars/bikes together that might not immediately be obvious but I've got the same.
