It’s actually a brand new Kazakhstan-made 2024. Its got the 2WD gear, but you only engage that when off roading because it makes turning even harder than it already is.
Your best option for a sidecar is to find something used that’s already set up. Before I bought my current bike I test rode a Triumph that had an Indian-made sidecar (the country, not the motorcycle brand) attached to it, and that bike was pretty nice but I couldn’t afford it at the time.
But if you’re in Europe, then Chang Jiang has new bikes in the EU. It’s got a modern engine too, not just an updated old engine like Ural has. It’s a Taiwanese company AFAIK, so it’s separate from the Chang Jiangs that come out of mainland China, which I believe are all still refurbished military bikes from the 60s. Dunno if they’re in your country or not, but I was really disappointed to learn that they don’t sell them in America because it would have been my preferred choice.

That sounds nice :) I was thinking of one as my first bike, but don’t want to buy anything new made Russian at the moment
Got a link to an eu reseller or something?
