Here is a very strange
"fused" sidecar still being made by
Sakuma
Engineering in Japan. The main scooter is a Honda Helix that has the body of
a sidecar fixed directly to the outer shell of the Helix. It is an odd looking
thing, If I do say so... Here is a translation (loose) of the product on the
Sakuma website:
The motorcycle, the side car you attach the raincoat sidecar fusion plus the
raincoat sidecar, lightly and lightly it is something which was remodeled to
the motorcycle and it does. Doing remodelling application in transport bureau,
it is the new vehicle where you were born the side car of three passengers you
attached lawfully and as a motorcycle lightly and changed. The scooter style
of the future feeling which is unified could guarantee the wide riding in a
car space. The frame where this body rides consists of the rectangular metal
tubing, we guarantee sufficient strength. Suspension adopts Neidhart type,
suspension system using trailing type, has contributed to the maneuverability
of comfortable riding comfort and the optimum sidecar. It is light, it makes
continuous vehicle inspection, unnecessary with holding down to the inside of
the frame of the motorcycle, can guarantee high economical efficiency,
furthermore, the highway, can travel with two people, or three passengers.
All I really have are these two ad's from Doug Bingham. Most of the stuff I
have found is in Japanese. There is a club website if you want to check it out:

AltaVista's
translation)
