This two-wheeler was made to celebrate the [70th anniversary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-tricolore) of Maserati 8CTF winning the Indy 500. The Montante Maserati 8CTF bicycle pays homage to the Maserati 8CTF of yesteryear with its Maserati 30s labeled frame and its [leather handlebars, saddle and pedals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mod-easy-sidecar-sahara) designed to match the interior of the original racer. Only 200 of these bikes will be made and they go for almost $4,000 apiece. You can look, but you'd better not touch.
