I saw this at a vintage show this weekend. Thought it was pretty unique. The side car is articulated to allow the bike and sidecar to lean into turns like a motorcycle was meant to do. I didn't get to speak with the owner to hear how it handles. Anyone seen these before, or is this a one off?

Not familiar with that one but there have been several leaning hacks on the market.

I haven't found a commercial rig like you have pics of above, but that just means I haven't spent more than 5 minutes looking.

I almost bought an Equalean sidecar for my GS-1100E, but it got sold while I was thinking about it.

So the idea isn't unique. I'm not really surprised about that. Still looks like a neat idea. I wonder how they would handle.

It's called a leaner. Check out Hacks over on ADVrider, search for leaner. Several folks have built their own.

That must be one slow rig. That bike only makes about 45 hp. Looks good though.

The big advantage is that the forks can be "regular" as well as the tires. To do a conventional chair that doesn't lean usually requires an Earles-style leading link.
