Called Mi1, the new Bordone-Ferrari Moto Italiana Rally identifies the first Bordone-Ferrari mechanical achievement as well as the key to enter a world made of skills and feelings got together in a project.

The Mi1 is a racing purebred, built to reach aims with no compromises. In the same time it's a great example of adaptability to an almost endless series of technical and technological bonds.

The Mi1 is a complete collection of choices and advanced theorical updates, subdued to Renato Ferrari's inputs. These choices and updates are organized and balanced thanks to the experience of the technical staff that works to build this bike.

The best available materials as well as the most suitable technologies have been used to optimize the efficiency. The frame, designed by Fernando Prades, it's a tubular frame made from chrome Molybdenum steel and it's been designed on the geometries of a revolutionary motorcycle which is able to offer the manageability needed in the most critical situations as well as a great solidity and safety.

The engine has been made by TM, on Bordone-Ferrari's recommendations, and takes advantages from the experience in the Enduro, Superbikes and Rallies scenes of the company from Pesaro of the Serafini brothers.

the description is a typical italian way

the most ordinary scooter would sound like a cosmic technology marvel after such description

the bike looks unfinished for me though probably looking for buyers, and then will try to solve the arising problems

Looks all right from the bottom of the wheels up. Until you get to the fairing and then it starts to look like the vino was kicking in. I think the bottom picture on your original post Al with the bike facing to the right looks better, the fairing flows more and the exhaust doesn't look so much like someone just rear-ended the bike at the lights. I'm undecided I think.

looking at al's pic's it seems they have worked some magic by being able to not have the exhaust on either side..... or maybe they were just trying to hide the fact they forgot about where they were going to put it so had to tack it on as an afterthought...

i still like it tho...

Looking at the size of the engine I'm guessing this is the 50cc version.
Happiness has 125cc

Suspect the exhaust is routed that way due to the side fuel tanks. Spec says fuel capacity is 28 litres so the pipe needs to go along the base then up at that angle so as not to foul the tanks. The Speedbrain Husky is the same.

ETA

the pic below shows a better view of why the pipe is routed that way
