A Ferrari 3.5-liter V8 engine on a superbike sounds bonkers, but it’s real
There probably wouldn't be many people who’d look at a V8 engine and think, yup, let’s put that on a motorcycle. Well, Max Hazan is one of the rare few who not only thought it, he actually did it – creating an entire bespoke motorcycle in the process.
The engine also runs a dry sump system, with the oil tank mounted on top freeing up space, reducing complexity, and keeping things accessible for whoever ends up maintaining this beast. The finished machine is about the length of an adventure bike, though Hazan shortened the wheelbase to 63 inches (1,600 mm) axle-to-axle to preserve that classic sportbike appearance.
