Unique Ferrari Motorcycle Auctioned For $137,700

Ferrari Motorcycle
Surprised to hear about a Ferrari motorcycle? Well, there has been one, just one of its kind, built in tribute to Enzo Ferrari, the founder of legendary Italian auto company. The motorcycle was sold at Bonhams, UK on April 29th for almost $137,700 (Rs. 73,56,663).

The iconic machine was built by David Kay Engineering of Britain between 1990 and 1995. It's a unique Ferrari motorbike, officially sanctioned by Piero Ferrari in 1990, two years after his father Enzo passed away.

Dave Kay had written to Ferrari to ask if he could create a motorcycle as a tribute to the late Enzo, who began his own racing career on bikes. The only Ferrai motorcycle was completely handcrafted and consumed 3,000 hours to make it a product model.

The motorcycle is fitted by an un-Ferrari four-cylinder, 900cc engine, producing 105bhp and able to hit 60mph in under three seconds. The one-off Ferrari motorcycle was owned by a British collector for the past 17 years. However, the identity of the lucky buyer, who bought the never to be created motorbike, is unknown.
