well - I have a Piaggio scooter that says "official commuter Scuderia Ferrari" with the emblems :-)

I did see a fighter jet model with a Ferrari logo - a month later the logos were off but the plane was still red. The shop owner said it was some licensing rights and the previous model is now worth big bucks....oh well

About the Italian Air Force.

I visited a few years ago one of their F-104G
Gruppo's.

They had photos all over the walls of their fighters and Ferrari's in their Gruppo Operations building.

They had a photo of a F-104G buzzing in burner a F-40 just over its roof on the runway.

The Italian Air FOrce donated an old Lockheed F104 Starfighter to Ferrari which they painted Rosso Corsa and display somewhere on the factory grounds
You think NASA would ever name a spaceship "ENZO"? :-)

I know Ferrari collaborated on the engine design of the most recent MV Agusta F4 made by Cagiva (former owner of Ducati). However, I don't believe the entire engine is a Ferrari design.

Ferrari alrewady has a bicycle & there have been Ferrari powered boats. I think Ducati or Bimota or somebody already made a Ferrari motorcycle several years back

Harley had Porsche design the new V-Rod engine. Maybe someone like Ducati would pay Ferrari to design something.

I would love it. I had rather work on cycles anyway and goodness knows anything Ferrari makes will need plenty of work. Tiny timing belts that you have to take the engine out of the frame to replace. I love it!

I must say though that I agree with Martin about another car line of Masarati. I can also see boats as a loser, but motorcycles, Who wouldn't want a fast bike by Ferrari.

I agree Matt, They could also use another source of income to offset some of their losses. It would certainly have to be fast and the best out there in the competition. Seemed like a good idea to me also. Just a thought.

why should they. This is just going to take away resources from their core business which fuels an unparelelled merchandising business.

They tried with boats years ago and failed. I think Masarati is a bad choice for them as well.

I always thought that it would be a natural progression for them. I think it would be a good idea and I don't think it would hurt there image at all. I guess with Ducatti down the road, they never bothered.
