SIDECAR - YAMAHA TENERE 700 SIDECAR

Hello fellow T7 owners and enthusiasts.
 

I would like to know your thoughts about a sidecar option for the T7. I have no sidecar experience at all, so I am all green on this area of motorcycling. However I will say sidecars to me seem to be a ton of fun.

Does anyone here have any sidecar experience and could tell if the T7 could handle a sidecar well? Also do you know of any workshop in the UK/Europe that could make such a sidecar, preferable a passenger adventure sidecar with storage for extra fuel and a spare tire.

 

The picture provided is a Photoshop that I picked up from the link below.

Thanks.

i have a little experience with sidecars and i dont think the tenere frame lends itself to the fitting of the required fittings. the sidecar itself isnt an issue. my mate has similar sidecar fitted to his tiger. i think its a wasp. good idea though. second thoughts he may have wasp leading link forks.

 

similar bike here.....

Not reccomended:

 

From the manual:  Section 2-3

Good spotted.

I feel that this sentence would lead to insurance issues if a crash occurs.
