When the public opinion on three wheeled motorcycles is concerned by motorcycle enthusiasts, it`s pretty vocal that only two wheelers count as motorcycles and three wheelers are actually side cars and not motorcycles. So if you belong in this branch, what do you think of this four wheel Maserati Bike called The Lazareth LM 847?!
The Lazareth LM 847 is powered by a V8 Maserati engine. The chassis was manufactured by Lazareth Motoring which is a French/Swiss company and they made a coalition with Maserati on this one, so under the hood we can find its very powerful Maserati engine. So we can clearly say this classifies as a Maserati bike as well.
As the name of the model “LM 847” is concerned, it comes from the fact that this Maserati bike is Eight Cylinders and 4.7 L of displacement. Yeah, yeah, you heard that right, no need to give it a second read. Outstanding engine specifications. It makes 470 HP, so there is no need for shifting gears. In place of the gearbox, there is a hydraulic coupling rations which is a 457 lb/ft of torque to the dual rear chains.

On the flanks we got cylinder heads, which are stainless headers and are hand fabricated. They are a mirror image, side to side which adds to a very beautiful symmetry. This four wheeled Maserati bike weighs 900 pounds and has an outstanding power to weight ratio. And if you want a fast bike, check the weight first and the horsepower after. Just like in golf, lowest number wins.
As for the design, it`s got the vibe a bit of the bike that Batman likes to ride. Very cool. The engine is visible, it`s not covered by any kind of bodywork of fairings. And why should it be covered? Something as beastly as this totally deserves to be uncovered for all to see.
We can`t say that this Maserati bike is practical for use and it makes sense. But what the hell. It was made for the heck of it. And for that we salute Lazareth. So for any of you who value the screaming Italian V8 sound, we are sure you will salute this motorcycle too.
