Is it just my perception or is that a plastic model?
Looks cool - but is it real?

Looks like you would be up for some sidecar duties then one day Hilly??? Easy the Honda 1 down 4 up smooth..ish four cylinder motor, at least 80+ hp to play with, handling braking and suspension are a bit ... (and oh you never need or want fifth gear cos that is very very um arr scary motivational velocity off road  8)  But what VMX solo sounds like a raging offroad754 ?
 The Swinger is easier still ! sort of.... hang as far off as ya can for grim death to the right if turning right and likewise if left. One small observation VMX sidecars are roughly 4 times as tiring and rough on ya body as solos... meaning 4 laps = equals 16... Dont be surprised or upset if your nose bleeds or you vomit swinging ..it happens due to the travel sickness. physical stress and unfit bodies.. ;)   Cheers Tim

I can't see a downside - I'm surprised more people aren't into it...
