It was sweet. Saw it in Stockbridge, MI at the All Clubs event.

That is about right, too bad it probably cost more than a fleet of Ducatis.

I hope that guy fabricated that Ninja's front suspension himself, otherwise he must have paid someone several thousand dollars to do it, just for the privilege of having a car tire on it. I don't get it.

I think that's part of the 'kit'... I've seen them in other colors before. I'd suspect that if you're spending that sort of scratch on a new bike and a sidecar that likely costs about the same as the bike itself, money outlay isn't a huge concern.

It's not for the "privilege" of having a car tire. With a sidecar, the front wheel no longer pivots around its horizontal axis. It simply rotates. The forces applied to the front-end are completely different. This is why you usually see sidecar rigs with Earles suspensions and similar designs instead of forks.
