If you want old school looks but modern reliability I'd recommend one of these bikes for an outfit, and not the Ural:

Riding a sidecar outfit is quite different to riding a solo as you have to accelerate around the chair on lefthanders and brake more on righthanders to let the chair come around the bike. You also need to practice getting the chair in the air as it WILL cock a wheel on lefthanders when you least expect it to - as a youngster I spent a day doing this before I headed out on the open road. If the sidecar does get airbourne it's normally brought down to earth by accelerating even more into the corner...takes big brass balls!
