[Paxovasa]

Its been bouncing around on ebay for years. Its not worth the £40k it was put up for a year ago, and its certainly not worth a quarter of a million quid. You'd have to be a mug to pay anything over £15k for it.

Quarter of a million for a home-made bike? Madness.

" the approval to place the Ferrari badge on your motorbike' and is wished good luck with his project.
When highly reputed MV Agusta 'guru' David Kay set about building this unique piece of engineering from scratch,
he looked towards both the future and the past, as he thought of what may have been if Ferrari would have decided to produce a GT or endurance racing machine "
:run babelsilky/rule274/:

:output/babelsilky/bcf/:
" I wrote to Ferrari and they wanted nothing to do with this stupid idea.
However, after thousands of pestering emails and letters, they eventually approved the usage of a £2.99 stick on badge and wished me luck with what will obviously be a hideous looking piece of cr*p.
I decided to build this bike, despite the fact that the genius design and engineering minds of the worlds most famous racing brand had concluded it was not worth thier lunchbreaks to even cobble together such an eyesore.
Luckily I had some free time as my MV franchise has fallen on bad times due to the fact no one wants to buy them anymore.. "

saw it on here about a year ago, as stated, for £40k. Looks like it's had bits nicked from other bikes, GSXR400 GK76a/750 headlight and CBR400 rear by the looks of it lol

I stand by my opinion that it is a complete waste of a gixxer headlamp. Rip off that gash bikini fairing and it might not look quite so grim.

Also I don't remember seeing any endurance racers with centre stands.

Its just so fuckin ugly. I presume Mr Ferrari didnt get to see the mock up or hed ave withdrawn permission straight away.

Does the seller really expect to get that for it do you think, or just another shop advert a la Red Dog and the 50 engined ducati (or whatever it is)

A classic bike dealership i used to work for (Phil cottons) used to own it

Cant really say much, apart from, it was in our showroom for the two years that i worked there, built by dave kay, co-owned by Phil cotton, and Ray steel (steels removals)

Up close, yes the craftsmanship is all very nice, many parts hand made, very nice.. uses Mv Internals ( so if anything went wrong, parts could be replaced)
It did have a certificate with it from "Ferarri" giving the rights to badge it up as a ferrari, but thats all thats ferrari about it imo.
My boss had a photo album of it being built by Dave Kay, was nice to look through on a brew break if nothing else.


What do i think?

Complete waste of money, its an ornament not a motorcycle, anyone that ever bought it, couldnt use it, To sit on, its damn awful, never heard it run, as the business closed down, and i left to work elsewere.

My boss owned it, i think, in the mindset it was going to be worth millions, then struggled to sell it on, and when his business went down, it got shipped to various places, America was one i think, and it never sold.

it comes up on ebay every six months, and never sells.
Im unsure if he still owns it, or if hes just getting dealers to try to sell it for him, haven't seen him in a year or so, and i wouldnt want to ask about it, i think its abit of a sore spot

EDIT:

If anyones interested, heres his current website, most of the bikes there are the ones we had in our showroom, alot of them being specials/resto's
Was a good job to be honest, but im glad im working on more modern stuff now

Looks ugly, description sounds like bollocks.

It sounds like someone wrote into Ferrari and the Italian person working on the other side understood them to be asking if they could simply put a "ferrari badge" on their motorcycle and agreed to this akward request.

At which point the morons in the UK understood this to be a full endorsement to create a whole new bike in ferrari style.

Sounds like total balls to me, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Enzo would be ashamed
