Ok, I can't really say because I haven't ridden one myself, but I've heard that riding with a sidecar rig isn't very much like "riding" anymore. It completely changes the feel and the cornering capabilties.
Take that away and what's left? You're basically just driving a convertible car that you have to gear up for.
Sure, it's something unusual, probably exciting for the kids... but are you really going to enjoy it enough to justify that much room taken up in your garage?

It needs a certain look to be cool....
Add in a leather helmet, leather 2 stripe jacket, Snoopy Sopwith goggles, bitchin scarf and you have a badass look.

That is about right, too bad it probably cost more than a fleet of Ducatis.

So I guess the one I posted with the 14R being the same, makes the headlights be less cool if it's just a brand. I thought they were some custom glass work to match the 14R.
