Ferrari Motorbike : - The world’s only Ferrari motorbike up for auction 08 December 2008 by Adrian Hearn.
The world’s only motorcycle to officially wear the Ferrari badge is expected to fetch a staggering £200,000 when it goes under the hammer later this month.
While many motorcycles have worn the ‘Cavallino Rampante’ Ferrari badge, they have been unofficial, customised bikes.
But this bike – while not built by Ferrari – has the blessing of the Italian supercar maker and was made to commemorate the life of Enzo Ferrari, who died in 1988.
According to Bonhams, British engineer David Kay wrote to Enzo Ferrari’s son Piero in 1990 requesting his permission to build a one-off bike to celebrate his father’s life, and use the Ferrari badge. Suzuki Bandit 650S 2009 : - Edgy new styling with sleeker headlights, newly styled frame covers, a slimmer tail light, newly shaped muffler ends and a newly styled cowling brings the Bandit 650S right up to date for 2009Newly designed instrumentation is built into a single sleek housing. An analogue tachometer is complemented by an LCD digital speedometer and an LCD fuel gauge and clock. Other indicators include lamps for neutral position, oil pressure, high beam, and water temperature and, for extra rider confidence, a gear-position indicator.On the Bandit 650S an aerodynamically efficient half-fairing incorporates stacked high-and low-beam multi-reflector headlights. The half-fairing also incorporates handy left-and right-hand storage bays for small items. Plus, newly designed rear view mirrors and turn-signal lights combine great style with function.Double overhead camshafts act directly on bucket tappets for smooth running and positive valve actuation at high revs. Race-proven Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) plates the cylinders, promoting heat transfer and ring sealing while reducing blowby and mechanical losses.
