Thinking about getting a sidecar

[Kickaha]

A guy down in Katikati sells brand new Ural sidecars. They look nice and from recall $5K is all it will cost ya.

Can you give me any more info about him?

Saw an article in a magazine a couple of years ago about some european company making road going/ touring sidecar units, looked a bit like a road version of the newer racing units, presumably with a bit more comfort. Not sure what real use they would be but sure as hell looked cool and would scare the shite out of any cages that actually saw it coming

Shit I could think of things way less cool than this...I want one.....



Kick, reckons it needs a machine gun attached tho

So I've ridden a sidecar that leaned - but it was a flawed concept,and not intended by the designer.I'd like to have a go on a more sorted leaning outfit.

there's this

Dutch made Flexit about 10 years ago, don't know if still in production.
Eml make nice ones (however not leaners) but still very expensive http://www.emlsidecar.com/starteng.htm
eg this one is for a ZZR1100 (They don't mess about with little bikes)

I had a side car on an XJ 750 I had. Easy to bolt on 3 connection points, still was easier for 2 people to do this. Took a bit of getting used to the way it handled specially on roads like the Rimutakas.
Had a lot of fun with it though ,had it in one Christmas parade in Lower Hutt. That was in 2003.
