  • Excellent. I want one. Never ridden anything with a side hack attached. I could ride and camp for weeks on a machine like that.

    These russian motorcycles are the most fun you can have on three wheels.Take a sidecar safety course.
    Carla knows these machines very well.If you have read American Borders,(Great Adventure! great read) you must realise that many improvements have been made since 1995.750cc motor,better transmission,ect.Mine is a 1999 with the old 650cc motor.It sure has character!

  • This sure is better photography than the old CMSI video tour of the “old” Ural factory back in 1994! Watching tha babushka doing freehand pinstriping on the sidecars was amazing!
