Oh, how it must feel to be rich and live the dream! You, your sexy girl and the Ferrari, siting one behind the other, wind in your helmet and a stiff motorcycle seat. Wait... what?
Most Ferrari badges are stuck the the sexy bodywork of a two-seater supercar, but in one very rare exception the Prancing Horse can do a wheelie. The bike built by  David Kay Engineering supposedly has a one-off 900cc, transverse, double overhead camshaft, four cylinder, eight valve unit with magnesium and alloy casings.

The braking is done using a set of Brembo discs with 6 pot calipers to the front and 4 at the rear. It’s not going to set any records either, with only 105 hp available at 8,8000rpm.

Although it’s not very cool, and has very limited appeal for riders, the only ‘official’ Ferrari bike sold for £85,000 ($138,000 at today’s exchange rate).

However, it's one of the ugliest things we've seen all year. Any second-hand Ducati out there looks a million times better, and that's why it's our pic of the day - people will buy anything with a Ferrari badge!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
