no but i checked out the prices and how many dealers. found 2 very near me and prices starting at about 6 k for the solo to 10.5k for the top with a side car and covers. they are still 750 cc and 40 hp as long ago.
i could easily go the price for some getting near 50 mpgs +or -, and have a 2 year warrenty .
edit 1
i went back and looked even a spare gas canister for the side car . rode one back abut 1970 some one had not that bad back then.
but one thing the side car models have 4 foward 1 reverse in the gear box. miss a shift and you have reverse.
edit 2
top speed is only 65 mph no speeding tickets exc. maybe in town

I've had a harley ('53 panhead that I built) honda goldwing, suzukis, etc. but everybody is riding one of those or something comparable. I want something that is unique, and that will go where I want. the ural patrol and the gear up have 2 wheel drive. and the style hasn't changed since 1939. it's identical to the 1939 bmw r71.

that wolf where else can you get a drive shaft bike for under 6k that gets 40 mpgs .yah the tech is from ww 2 a russian copy of bmw. .
the price is right for todays price on gasoline and i sure don't need a lot to go 12 miles a day and they have 2 dealers near by and i know both. plus the wife like the blue side car one for under 10k.
dang last time we had a side car one dog would always go for rides and loved it.

I have a low mileage Enduro that I get in worse trouble with every day, seems like.
But you have to have fun somehow...
"OH LOOK! A ditch... How can I bury myself in it beyond all repair???"
I got out of it. I had to rev the guts out of it, and it was pitch dark with a dead headlight - but I did it...

When I was a kid I had a Jawa 350 (Czech made.) Now there was a bike you didn't see every day. Gearshift and footbrake were reversed from a conventional bike which made it interesting to ride if you weren't paying attention. Also, the gearshift doubled as the kick starter.

Does anybody know anything about Urals? Good, bad, or....?

If you didn't accept it - you wouldn't have a bike like that anyway
