Motorcycle modifying is nothing new. A slip-on exhaust and a new pair of rearsets can be seen on almost every fourth bike depending on where you live, but it's not every day that you see motorcycle modification like this one, the DJ Sport B-King sidecar.
Looking like a munted Can-Am Roadster, this curious contraption takes the 1340cc 160hp (119kW) Suzuki B-King, strikes off the front wheel, jury-rigs a multi-arm front suspension set-up with an Ohlins shocker, replaces the motorcycle tyres with car-like tyres and adds a sidecar.
Et voila, knees de le bees.
Developed by French company D.J. Construction, the modern-day road-going sidecar requires the rider and passenger to be leaning in harmony to achieve decent corner speeds. As any sidecar aficionado will know, that's easier said than done.
Weighing in a 402kg, the DJ Sport B-King sidecar is an intriguing design that holds some appeal, but we're not sure whether it will popularise sidecars.
French publication Moto Mag had a ride of the bike and reckoned the vehicle was difficult to turn in certain situations.
Priced at almost 30,000 Euros ($A46,000), it doesn't come cheap either. You could buy a dozen Kymco Quannon tiddlers for that. But on the plus side, rolling burnouts will simplified thanks to the extra stability of the sidecar's wheel.
