*cough* You missed the little guys. Not that anyone would be daft enough
to attach a sidecar to a 500.

Locally st least, you can get a K bike that's good
for 100,000 miles or more for under $3,000.

Maybe you can find the same in a Goldwing
but it's a very durable bike usually selling
for less than an airhead.

If I were building a rig, the bike would be on my
short list of possible choices.

There was never a 500 Sabre, they only made the 500 Magna for a year or two, and
we have a 500 Interceptor. You're right. I wouldn't put a sidecar on one of the
500s. The one we have is gutless unless you really twist its tail.
