Italian designer François Knorreck created this motorcycle sidecar in 10,000 hours of work over a ten-year period.
The motorcycle sidecar is a two-in-one vehicle that cost Knorreck 15,000 euros to create. The 1000cc Laverda motorcycle sidecar has three exhausts and uses parts from three different car companies: Volkswagen, Audi and Citroen.
I would feel safe riding this snazzy motorcycle!
