The CR&S VUN Sidecar cannot carry passengers

Bikes have that badass reputation because for generations renegades have ridden them all around the world with that devil-may-care attitude. Clichéd as that image may be, it is certainly one that makes boys want to own bikes in the first place. But I guess in an increasingly “open” society it was about time someone invented a bike that would cater to men that are less, er, rugged, and want to travel around on a bike but don’t want to part with their complete luggage set. At least that is what this CR&S VUN Sidecar combo seems to suggest.

Crafted for the more refined gents, the bike itself is quite a work of art. Handmade by Café Racers & Superbikes, a small Milan-based company, the exclusive bike comes with a single cylinder, four-stroke engine that thumps out a reasonable 53.64hp at 7000 rpm displacing 652.00 cc to the meter. A 5-speed gearbox with wet multiplate clutch offers excellent control to the biker in all kinds of terrain.

Generally, those specs would be enough to get the bike a respectable round of applause for its clichéd masculinity. But then again, it is kinda hard to ignore the bright apple-green-with-red-and-white polka-dots paintjob that extends to the unfortunate looking sidecar. Not that a steely black paint would have made the luggage car look any better, but it might have made it easier to match your clothes with it.

As much as we disapprove of bikes with sidecars of any kind, it is in a small comforting to know that this particular example cannot carry any passengers so the more rugged of bikers can just man it out with their worn down knapsack.
