I'm considering either ordering a new '05 Retro with sidecar or instead just buying a used '03 Bavarian Classis and buying some accessories to make it look more like the Retro.
Can anyone send me some info about the pros and cons of each choice here? Obviously the used bike is considerably less expensive. But of course the new bike comes with a warranty and it's got the more "vintage" look I like from the old BMWs, M72s and ChangJiangs.
I'm also considering buying one of the old vintage bikes but don't want to have to baby it like an antique or work on it all the time. I was also considering an '05 Triumph T100 Bonneville with a Ural hack but that's a bit pricey.
Looking forward to hearing from experienced sidecar enthusiasts!
