Having had a Centauro it seems to me that these creations are the result of a creative imagination wondering what's possible not unlike pulling a pop-up camper behind a Nascar for a weekend of camping at Lake Wideyadothat.

I think a Centauro would make a great tug for a  high performance,"European" style sidecar, which is exactly what is shown in the pics JJ posted.  I actually like it better than a V 11 sport as a tug.
 Maybe I am just a little weirder than most, but I love sidecars and Guzzis. Every single one of those look fabulous to me! :thumb:

I *will* say they know how to do high performance sidecars in Yurp. I'd rather they put one on a VMax instead of a Centauro, though.. :evil: :smiley: Putting a sidecar on a motorcycle isn't a very nice thing to do to it, and I like Centauros.  :grin: :boozing:

...just a wild hair...don't know if I would really put one on my Centauro, but I have always fancied a sidecar on a motorcycle. :wink: 

I took a weekend class in Seattle years ago on how to "DRIVE" a sidecar and it was fun and I learned a lot... :cool: :thumb:

They must be set-up correctly or you would be in trouble... :shocked:

These guys are seriously into getting the handling down. None of the picture bikes had stock forks. I need a front end like that.

This is what you see mostly in Europe - Leading-Link front-end...flat, automotive front tire...made to go FAST...stop quickly in a straight line...and handle like a slot car on the Autobahn...and that's what you want in a side-car (IMHO) :cool: :thumb:

Here is another beauty...and you know this rig has no issues tracking around corners at speed! 

European design for sure! :thumb: :cool:

What's even MORE frightening than a V10 Centauro with a sidecar...why...a Victory Vision with a sidecar!!! :laugh: :grin: :wink: :cool: :thumb:  Moby Dick!!! 

These are from HANNIGAN in Murray, KY...and I would guess that they are very expensive!! :rolleyes: :shocked:
