Thumbs down Ferrari F1 tricycle made in Japan???

I'm sorta happy they used a Suzuki Hayabusa instead of a Ducati/Aprilia/MV Agusta for this monstrosity...



Unofficial Ferrari trike powered by Hayabusa engine
By Dan Aspel

News Link




This Ferrari F1-themed trike was originally a Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa.

The mechanics are largely unchanged, the work being focussed on the red, decal-laquered frame and rear wheels, turning the standard supersports bike into a unique tribute to the Italian F1 team.

The trike was built by Japanese custom guru Yokosuka Johnny, who counts a Honda 1800GL Goldwing amongst his previous two-to-three-wheel transformations.

MCN speak a little Japanese, but not enough to squeeze all the facts from the video below. Anyone talented linguists not too distracted by the blistering soundtrack feel free to fill us in on the details.

The music kills me...

The bodywork (on the trike) is amazing.
