There are only 5 of this limited edition flying motorcycle from France, and they cost half a million dollars

The French vehicle is called La Moto Volante, or the flying motorcycle, in English.

It was created by French designer and manufacturer Lazareth.

Thanks to kerosene tank, the motorcycle is capable of ten minutes of continuous flight.

The bike was built for easy handling, inspired by other Lazareth vehicles.

It's also an electric motorcycle...

...capable of 100 km, or 62 miles, per charge.

Body work for this experimental vehicle is made of a carbon kevlar composite.

A switch on the dashboard sets the bike in road mode or flight mode.

The dashboard gives other useful information too, like speed and altitude.

Four 1,300 horsepower turbine provides the power required for takeoff.

The turbines are located at four corners of the motorcycle...

...and allow it to take flight.

At $560,000, this seemingly gravity-defying vehicle costs about twice as much as the average US home, so it's definitely an investment.
