| WMRRA Qualifier Joined: Jan 2008 From: Warrenton, Oregon I Ride: 2004 Yamaha R1 | Wild looking sidecar I couldn't find any other reference to this after a quick search, so I hope it's not a repost... I got it in an email from my uncle. Pretty amazing sidecar. Interesting, but I don't know if I'd want one. At what point does it become a car rather than a motorcycle? It sort of reminds me of those old limos where the driver sat outside in the weather. "Nowadays, a motorcycle sidecar might not arouse the same interest 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"     |

 True. I didn't think of it like that. Maybe it's a car that's powered by a motorcycle. | |

 WTf I like the idea of following through on an idea, from an idea, that made other peoples minds have an idea as to what you were thinking, but are they really going to wonder about your mental stability after? ...  Last edited by smoothytaggert; 11-07-2009 at 08:19 AM.. | |

That's what I was thinking. So I can't corner or get the same rush as riding but I also have to freeze my balls off in the winter while some shlep sits comfortably in the sidecar next to me? No thanks, as much as I like innovation and new ideas this one I can do without. | |

Riding a sportbike to the store for groceries is similar to bareback riding, sure it can be done, but it aint much fun and your ass gets sweaty. | |
