Side cars for gz250

Not likely. The GZ doesn't have the power to pull one around. If you did manage to find one small enough the bike would probably need to be regeared with a 14 tooth front sprocket and be limited to staying close to home with less speed. Grocery shopping and taking the dog for a ride might be fun though.

I would love to see someone make one.

As far as power is concerned, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Remember that not too long ago 20 hp on a motorcycle was a powerful and sidecars have been around since before that period. Anything can carry a side-car. It just won't go very fast. People should slow down anyway, so that's not necessarily a bad thing

I recall that there were custom sidecars for the Lambretta 150cc scooters, going back as far as the 1960s. If a 150cc could do it, I don't see why a 250 can't.

(bearing in mind that I've never had a sidecar, so I don't know how top speed etc is affected)
