A man in India has built a crocodile  replica body kit for his motorcycle.  Part of a series of modications to  the bike costing £540, the new  body kit is painted green and features a head with jaws that are  able to open and shut as the driver  rides. It also has an extended  frame allowing it to carry more  than one passenger and video  footage shows it transporting up  to ve adult passengers.
