Exactly, and you can get 2WD with a Ural... take the kid to school or moto-camping.

That's not a bike, it's a moped. It's like one step above those motorized wheelchairs for people that can't walk because they're too fa... never mind, get it Ed. You two were built for each other.

What IS legal age (and/or height?) for a kid to ride with?

Hmm, well the other bikes in this thread seem to have normal forks and tires

Newer bikes are stronger than the old designs and can handle the forces better but, still aren't ideal. They work though. Take a look at the forks on the BMW at the top of the page, those forks are pretty beefy for that era. I "think" the beemers of that era were expected to have sidecars a lot and were beefed-up a bit. A regular motorcycle tire doesn't live a long life on sidecars or trikes. Do a google search for "sidecar fork design" and you'll see a lot of what I'm talking about. Some of the BMW's have the swingarm from the frame to the center of the forks on newer bikes instead of an Earles design.

Bikes from that era also weren't expected to have more than 30hp either.

That Kawi is now looking to have to steer 150+ hp
