Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders comfortable with the unique, arm-wrestling discipline of piloting a sidecar rig, as it behaves nothing like a solo motorcycle.
PurposeBuilt for slow, deliberate, characterful journeys and hauling a passenger or cargo in the attached sidecar rather than for speed or performance.
Rider FitRiding this rig demands real physical strength and constant steering input, since the sidecar pulls against the bike and drum brakes require a firm hand.
CharacterA charming slice of mechanical history with a low-revving air-cooled boxer twin, shaft drive, and old-world drum brakes that reward patience over performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for riders seeking speed, agile cornering, or modern convenience and braking performance.
