2000cc outfit should top 160mph

This is the Sidebike, a mad bike-and-sidecar-in-one outfit with its own two litre engine.

The French manufacturers claim the engine as their own work and say it makes 133bhp.

The sidecar part has room for two passengers and comes with a stereo to pump out the right sounds when the three of you are heading for 160mph-plus.

Weighing 650kg, it is thought it will cost in excess of £15,000.
