Is there such a thing as a starter sidecar rig?

Hello all, I have been thinking about a sidecar rig for years now. Even though I have never ridden one they sure seem like they would be a blast to ride. Is there such a thing as a beginner type setup? I don't want to spend alot until I decide if I like it for sure. From reading it seems some are easier to ride than others. Weight, less trail, etc... I have been riding for 20+ years. Lots of sport tourers, touring, dual sports and currently on a GL1800. I'd like to take short trips for now. Take my dog for a ride and even might allow the wife on a trip or two! Suggestions? Advice?

I had the KLR in the drive way. I only thing I had any problems with was the toe in. You need good stright edges, I got two L-angles 8' long. Then I could get it dailed in just right, 1/4" at 8'. I bought the book on sidecar set up and riding from DMC it is very helpful. A must read before you start and if want to know if a sidecar is something you want to do. You can get it from Amazon as well.
