Default wierd Ferrari bike concept

Saw this concept the other day. Not my cup of tea but odd all the same.

Found it at:
http://gizmodo.com/5054207/ferrari-v...-city-in-italy






Looks like there is no front suspension. Ouch.

I wonder if it's some kind of a slider arrangement under the covers?

I'd ride it. I love the Cavallino Rampante.

Give a new meaning to referring to a bike as an expensive sex toy. Looks like something you'd find in one of those shops.

That would be my guess.
I highly doubt Farrari would design a bike that rode like crap

There is very little suspension movement in Ferrari's F1 cars. All the movement is in the tires. They've got a few zillion dollars wrapped up in making tiny 'dampers' ( I'll bet it doesn't actually have shocks or springs ) that you can barely see.

Basically, in the race cars, the suspension is more about controlling ride height for aerodynamics than making the thing ride comfortably.

I really like the brake set up with the calipers on the inside of the rotor.
