You obviously haven't ridden one,otherwise you wouldn't have to ask.

Go and ride a sidecar - then put up your poll.

So why ask in such a dickhead way.Is there a reason you are asking this question? Give us some of your thoughts and we might be able to respond in a more insightful manner.

That's not the KB way.

In fact it isn't the Kiwi way.

Poor'y worded questions are stock in trade.

The only thing Sidecars and Go Carts have in common is they are both low to the ground machines. I have never had a go in a Go Cart so can't comment on them but have had plenty of goes swinging in a Sidecar which was bloody Awesome. Like someone pointed out in a previous reply Sidecars have handlebars the same as a Motorcycle and a Go Carts has a steering wheel, pretty well sums it up dont you think.

so if I mounted handlebars in my mitsi instead of a steering wheel would that make it a motorcycle? and if I mounted a steering wheel on my rf900 would that make it a car?

whoever came up with that argument is obviously abit stupid

Anyway, from all your posts in this thread I have gathered no one will have the "right" answer in your opinion unless they agree with you.

WTF Mitsi's didnt come out with handlebars did they just the same as your rf 900??? so why would putting handlebars in it make it a motorcycle and a steering wheel on your rf make it a car?????:bash::crazy:

All i know is that sidecar/chair/rig units are ridden by drunken, deviant, weirdo's.
But gocart drivers all look like prissy lil bitches whining about tyres, and drafting techniques.
i know which group I prefer to bullshit to.

I raced go karts and i sure as fuck am not prissy!!

A bitch i suree am.....whinning about tires and crap i never....

As for what a side car is well thats easy it's more a bike cuz you ride one not drive it
