Meet the Lazareth LM847 – the 400kg, V8 leaning quad with a Panigale’s arse.

OK, so it’s not a motorcycle in any sense of the word… but we had to show you this all the same.

It’s a leaning quad built for the road and it’s called the Lazareth LM 847. It’s just debuted in Geneva at the motor show. It’s built around a around a 4.7litre, 470bhp, V8  from a Maserati.

It’s not a million miles away from the Dodge Viper-powered Tomahawk quad but the leaning engineering looks much like the Yamaha Tesseract and the Honda titling-future-Gold Wing concept we saw at the end of last year, the Neo-Wing.

It’s a heavy heifer though, tipping the scales at 880lb (400kg) but forget all that for a moment and take a look at the Diact 1299 Panigale seat unit. Yep. That’s happened.
