    Kawi 6 cyl 1980 Z1300 with Saluki sidecar

    I really wanted to see more of the side car that looks like a Countach. I would have to find fake headlight stickers for the nose. And a Lambo badge.

    Then I saw 6 exhaust pipes. ( and read the title )

    I'm not a fan of sidecars, and that one's a monstrosity, but I love the Z1300.

      Never had a sidecar, but I did have two 1300s. One was one of the first 1300s on the streets of Los Angeles with a license plate, the other one was my re-entry to motorcycling after taking about 17 years off for school and raising a family.

      If you are considering purchasing that bike, be aware that there are a few parts inside the engine that are no longer available. Unless you have something custom-made, once they break, it's all over.

          I never drove with or rode in a sidecar. Look forward to hearing of your experiences.

            I never drove a sidecar either. It wan't my ad. I just wanted it because that sidecar looked like a Lambo.

              The dealer in Anchorage put turbos on a number of leftover Z1300s. I went and looked at one, but I didn't have a place to put it at the time. According to Joe Minton, they were great bikes and handled very well.

              Personally, I'm not interested in a sidecar, but I do like those big sixes. I've seen a guy with a 2WD Ural sidecar rig quite a bit riding all winter in AK. Once I was driving from Valdez to Anchorage to go out for Christmas (planes not flying due to weather in Valdez), and saw the guy in Glenallen on his way to Anchorage on it. That is a long way of a crappy cold windy day.

                The guy I bought my 850 off of was going to mount a side car to it. He said he had one mounted to a 750, but the rear wheel would always go out of adjustment. He wanted the 850 for its shaft drive. Me and my 850 are happy he never got around to doing it! 850 says it didn't want no third wheel dangling out there! ☺
