Engine by Ferrari, handlebars by BMW: The world's most expensive quad bike





Quote:
Manufactured this year, Lazareth describes the quad as an 'atypical three-wheel vehicle', with the rear two wheels linked together.
Weighing in at a relatively light 650kg, the expensive vehicle is able to reach travel at high speeds.
Its makers say the powerful 250bhp engine means its can reach more than 150pmh on the clock.
On the JamesList advert it says 'All the engine management can be modified and monitored with a computer.'
To complement the high-performance engine and gearbox, the Wazuma also has huge Brembo brakes and a unique, made-to-measure suspension.

It also uses huge 18-inch wheels with racing slick tyres.
It has been crafted with an impressive mix of names, with an engine fitted by Ferrari and a six speed gearbox, controlled by the handlebars from a BMW M3.
A spokesperson for the company said: 'The Wazuma offers matchless driving sensations with a unique design. It is designed to be simple, aggressive and high-performance. It is first of all a masterpiece of engineering, a sculpture.'

Wait, they're saying that 1400+ lbs is 'relatively light' for a ... quad? I guess thats true if by 'relatively light' they mean 'very heavy'
