Those wings are nice bikes, I took one out last fall for a demo ride and I was impressed how it handled.
We should try to meet up for a ride again one day.

Those 6 cylinder engines sure are nice. Took a FB6 out for a demo in the spring and couldn't believe the power.
If you took all the non Kawasaki riders off this forum it might seem a little thin. I enjoy the insight from everyone who have moved on to different brands.

They have a new Ural out that does not have the sidecar drive wheel option I think it is called the cT.
I like the look of them and did some research but as was stated, they look like there would be a learning curve.
I saw somewhere that you should put a 100 pound weight in the sidecar if riding solo.

I ride a BMW now and no one here seems to mind.

They've always had one. I think it was called the Tourist before. Side car riding is a different ball game.

If you want a boxer engined bike, there are better choices.

The Ural is a 1950's vintage BMW engineering, but built by russians and it has fuel injection, electronic ignition and a halfway decent charging system now. Maintenance is real important. It's not the bike for the just add gas types of people.

She is just showing her dominance over you.

The Beemer shop where I got my Lt and Rt 1200 serviced used to call them "Urinals".
