|
 |

About.com has a great review of the new Russian Ural-T motorcycle with a sidecar. For $9,999 it's a great value despite it's WW-II era technology, and you can initiate some mean drifts on this bike.

My grandpa had a Ural in the '60s in the Soviet Union. That bike could take a beating! Bad roads, no roads, it would just keep on trucking! His friend had one with a sidecar, and he converted the sidecar into a mini-dumptruck, so he used it around the collective farm to haul manure if the load was too small to call a full truck in.

Terculees, you might want to educate people as to *which* Ural model you have and what is special about it.
It's just that I see plenty of Urals around for less than $5000, and if I didn't really know a lot about these rather unique bikes I'd think that $9999 was pretty high.
Like your front "fork", cosmetics, and other options for example..
GL on your sale. |

I don't have that model, grandfather sold it in the '80s around the time I was born. Unfortunately grandpa passed away in '04, so I can't even ask him about the model.
And no, noone rode in the sidecar, lol. It was a farm bike and got used hard!

What that thing needs is a MG42 or RPD mounted in the side car.

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing...
The two-wheel drive Ural Patrol T
..and the faster, sportier Red October Limited
| Quote: | We had more than our fair share of fun bombing around the streets of Seattle and the surrounding area on the brand new Ural T sidecar motorcycle. Though it's surely not for everybody, we found ourselves smitten with the machine's no-nonsense old-world charm and throwback style. The one thing that was missing, though, was Ural's two-wheel drive option.
We're happy to report that this omission has now been rectified with the new Ural Patrol T (pictured above). Not only is the model's $12,399 asking price a full six Benjamins under that of the standard Patrol, it's also painted up in our preferred Olive drab and has matte black trim in place of the normal chrome. That's a whole bucket full of win right there.
Also new from Ural is the 2009 Red October Limited Edition sidecar. With its single-wheel drive, 18-inch wheels and 3.89 final drive ratio, the Red October promises to be a good bit faster on the top end than the rest of Ural's line. Thanks to the lower seating position via a sidecar frame shared with the Retro model, it should be a highly passenger-friendly outfit. We also dig the contrast of its deep red bodywork against the flat black trim and powertrain. |
