| Quote: | Amir Glinik, who centered his design around the theoretical application of the Ferrari Enzo's V12 engine, chopped down to four cylinders and modified to drive just one wheel in a motorcycle frame. Around the V4 engine, Glinik has designed a fluid shape that may appear more futuristic in its styling than inspired by current roadcar designs, but certainly catches your attention. Glinik has even planned out the theoretical controls, which blend elements from an F-16 fighter jet (more common in his home country than Ferraris, anyway) and the Scuderia's high-tech Formula One steering wheel, supplemented by a weatherproof touch-screen LCD atop the fuel tank.

Designer: Amir Glinik, Israel

To me it looks butt ugly.. looks like it has two rear ends.
And driving it would be horrible, there is nothing to take the wind of the driver. You would be hanging by your arms.

Hey, if the MTT Turbine Superbike (aka. Y2K Superbike from the movie 'Torque') exists now.....This can too in the future....in another decade this ferrari bike would probably be a 'slow' road legal bike for the elderly......Who knows what the future holds

The idea of using a jet engine in a bike is useless. Throttle response is slow, and you will burn everything that gets close to the rear end to a crisp, even if it has shaft drive.
Here is some proper riding:
I have never liked BMW, until they came up with the S1000RR, which is close to the top end of my drooling list.

It has a V-twin engine.
I ride a V-twin bike myself, and I love the low RPM torque and the general characteristics of those engines.. but a V-twin bike will never match the high-end power of an in-line 4 cylinder engine.
So "best".. I guess it will always be a question of what you are looking for in a bike.
