I saw one of these today at Publix. Interesting. It has a BMW look
(horizontally opposed 2 cyl) with more of a WWII Harley body style,
with the springer front end. It had the sidecar like this but was a
machinery gray color.

I think I've seen only one in this country. I saw several in Europe, but they aren't very popular.
Bad reputation for reliability.



Didn't Mike and Frank on "American Pickers" stumble upon one in one episode?


No idea. If I wanted a sidecar rig, I'd probably use my Guzzi. Saw a lot of them in Europe and a few
at Guzzi rallies here in the US.
