Thus all the pictures / information have been removed from Amir's website else he would face more draconian reaction from Ferrari in terms of using their name, etc. Too bad as it was a unique idea. Hopefully he redoes the concept images with the Ferrari monikor removed so their zealous lawyers can find someone else to harass.

( a "mistake" a lot of people make when making a design). when riding in the rain your crotch will have a lot of water coming down (a reason why "real" motorcycle never have that kind of shape, from the front wheel to the rider/fuel tank) When accelerating hard or braking hard it will be difficult to stay on the seat. I know these are just details but these are important things when designing a bike and all motorcycle designers need to think off when making a design. The technical bits look great but the design needs a little more work to make it look like a Ferrari motorcycle to me...And a long wheelbase doesn't necessarily mean it should have bad handling; a long wheelbase with a low CoG can have excellent flickability (ask Tony Foale). The 990cc MotoGP bikes had wheelbases of some 1480mm (because of the power, with a short wheelbase they would wheely all the time) I don’t want to piss-off anybody but just some things which I noticed which make it a concept and not a real bike to me; front suspension travel? does it have any?
