Ducati and MV Agusta are often referred as "Ferrari on two wheels" but which one do you think is more closer to Ferrari?
Ducati For a short time, our racing motorcycles and a 98cc road version (called "Cavallino" in Europe and "Bronco" in the U.S.) sported on their side panels a horse identical to that of the Ferrari emblem. For those fond of old stories about Ducati, the symbol helped identify our motorcycles as "Ferraris on two wheels." Ducati Ducati and the prancing horse
MV Agusta "The engine was derived from the 1990–1992 Ferrari Formula One engine. Early in the design process Ferrari engineers assisted in the development of the engine. MV (Cagiva at the time) quickly deviated from the Ferrari design, but they kept one important feature, the radial valves. The F4 engine is unique in the sense that it is the only radial valved motorcycle engine currently in production."

the mv augusta is rarer than the ducati so therefore the ducati is like the ferrari... in other words... ferrari's just arent that rare anymore... just gotta know where to look for them. any augusta would be my dream bike... but unfortunately i cant afford one so ill stick with my hypermotard... after all it is the ferrari of bikes.

I think if Ferrari made a motorcycle, it would look more like Ducati.
But I don't know about L Twin engine. I think Ferrari would build something high-pitched F1 sound...instead of rumbling sound like Ducati.
