Ural Mororcycles

[ray1970]

I love old school looks and technology when it comes to two-wheeled transportation. The Urals have always intrigued me for this reason as well as the fact that I have always had a fond admiration for the simplicity and ruggedness of anything the Soviets made.

The Royal Enfield motorcycles kind of interest me as well. I think the "military" model is pretty neat. I could have bought three of them for what I paid for my last bike. Lol.

The Indian Enfields are pretty much crap. You'd need to buy 3 of them to be able to ride as much as you did on your last bike, as the other 2 would probably be down with clutch issues, blown up valvetrains, or fried charging systems.

Thanks for the heads up. Honestly though, if I had one, I doubt it would see five hundred miles each year. I can't imagine I would have issues with it for several years.

They have made many improvements in the last 4 or 5 years, but much of the bike is still based on Cold War era German tech appropriated by the Soviets.

Minor correction: Early WW2 design. BMW type 72, purchased somewhere in eastern europe and copied by the russians. Once the german invaded in 1942, they modified the type 72, to become the type 75 and found out that most dnepr parts would fit with minimal fitting for field replacement.

Very nice, I learned to ride on a 53 Indian last 80cc and only year with hydraulic / glide front end .

My father traded his ww2 surplus Indian Scout in 75... My brother and I still hate him for this. He got the r75 and a beat up kettenkrad in trade... My brother broke both tracks of the kettenkrad while trying to pull a wheelie in 1982....

I have been down on motorcycles recently. I sold my old bike to my neighbor and this was the result. 7 am colder temperatures doing 65+ with no protective gear. I imagine it was cold, and glasses were fogging up. Be safe whatever you ride.

Sometimes PPG has no effect on the outcome. Does it help sure, it also puts a false sense of security in to some riders.

ANYWAY SORRY TO VEER OT.

Buy the Ural and enjoy the ride.
