This BMW starts right up and runs and drives fantastically. No stalling or sputtering. The engine is very strong. Will need some brake work, but does stop perfectly fine in its current state.  The sidecar includes its own braking system.  With a little clean up work, you will have yourself a truly unique Sidecar Motorcycle. One that will last for years and remain a sought after piece of machinery. This BMW/Ural sidecar motorcycle will make for a great project and riding motorcycle.
