[Photo Feature]: Motorcycle side-car - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Just got this as a FWD Mail today thought will share.

Nowadays, a motorcycle sidecar might not arouse the same ecstasy as it used to bikes in early days, but the latest vehicle by Francois Knorreck is a sidecar with difference that gives an entirely new definition to the sidecars. Dubbed “Snaefell,” the 1000cc Laverda motorcycle has three exhausts, and its sidecar offers a luxury ride in comparison to regular sidecars. The designer has employed different parts of a Kawasaki 1000RX and a number of cars to accomplish the motorcycle sidecar, which took 10 years and nearly 15,000 Euros to combine biking and luxury car ride in a single vehicle.

I agree. BTW what are the rules regarding side cars in India?

Because some says side cars are a strictly no no now. But you still see them on the roads.

Appreciate any Info on this subject.
