My first reaction on seeing this was: love the paint job! At CR&S VUN they really show a passion for motorcycles with some authentic Italian design, starting with a single cylinder “milanès” rumble.

This design from Cafe’ Racers and Superbikes includes a sidecar, or PPB as an acronym in Milanese dialect meaning “to carry knick-knacks” (the guys at CR&S are a little quirky). The sidecar is aerodynamic, easily attached and is not designed for passengers, hence the name.

On reaching your destination, having carried all your gear in the PPB, you can easily remove the sidecar to get about with your VUN. It’s a genius idea, and the sidecar is made from fibreglass, sold at the price of about 9,600 euros. For more information on CR&S check out our previous posts on the Vun story, part one and part two.

This is the first part of a video made by Key Frame on the story of the Vun, a peculiar bike created by CR&S (Cafe’ Racers & Superbikes), founded by Roberto Crepaldi in 1992.

We saw CR&S at the Eicma Milan show with some impressive bikes, and this is another which impresses for the maniacal attention with which it is produced. The originality of the Vun can be found in the Milanese dialect sticker on the bike and if you thought Italians were all about chaos and hotch-potch working style, the CR&S Vun will change your mind.

Thanks to Roberto Crepaldi who put us in contact with Raffaele Canepa from Key Frame, to get us this video story of the Vun. We also recognise all the guys who worked on the making of the video.
