Not likely. The GZ doesn't have the power to pull one around. If you did manage to find one small enough the bike would probably need to be regeared with a 14 tooth front sprocket and be limited to staying close to home with less speed. Grocery shopping and taking the dog for a ride might be fun though.

I would love to see someone make one.

As far as power is concerned, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Remember that not too long ago 20 hp on a motorcycle was a powerful and sidecars have been around since before that period. Anything can carry a side-car. It just won't go very fast. People should slow down anyway, so that's not necessarily a bad thing ;)

I recall that there were custom sidecars for the Lambretta 150cc scooters, going back as far as the 1960s. If a 150cc could do it, I don't see why a 250 can't. :) (bearing in mind that I've never had a sidecar, so I don't know how top speed etc is affected)

Weren't somewhere in the posts a pic of a sidecar with gz, made in India?
