My dad gave me his 2005 patrol for Thanksgiving. Has newer engine and trans. I've bought a lot of parts from you guys nice to put a voice to the shop. I like the exhaust
I have one of these, a 2011 Gear Up. It's fun to ride around town with my dogs and to do errands on, but that's about it. You can ride it around town ,off road, and on slower roads, but it's not something you can go on a long road trip on- about like a scooter.However, I've met a couple of daredevils who've done it. It's mostly suitable only for lower speed roads, it just doesn't have enough power-- only has about 40hp and it weighs a hefty ~730lbs( 330kg). The top speed is about 60mph( 96kph), and that's maxed out, not cruising speed. You wouldn't want to go very fast on this thing anyway because above about 50mph it feels dangerously unstable. They're also absurdly overpriced. The mileage is not very good either, only about 25 mpg. Some of the fasteners rust easily. I do like the fact that it has a kick starter as well as electric start, and it's about the only motorcycle on the market that still has this. It starts good in in cold weather which I like. I also like the fact that it has a spare tire- that's come in handy a couple of times when I had flats and kept me from being stranded. My little dogs love this thing. I'd shake the keys and say '' get ready!'' and they'd go bananas with excitement. Sometimes Poppy would sneak outside and sit in it waiting to go. Where's Poppy? I'd look out the window and there she was, sitting in the sidecar, waiting. Little Poppy was a born biker dog, always up for adventure. Always be sure your dog wears goggles! Anyway, we got lots of attention. We'd frequently ride to dog parks and forests and we'd have tons of fun. The years flew by and Poppy and Dixie are gone now, they are in dog heaven, and I sure miss those two little rascals. They loved me and I loved them. Lots of memories.
That's a beautiful color! I'd really like a Ural, but do too much long distance interstate and highway riding. I don't expect a sidecar rig to be a speed machine, but need something that holds 75 easily without being near redline. And I'm spoiled with my cruise control and heated grips..lol One day though!
How can this motorcycle, AS MUCH AS I LOVE IT, could be worth 22k? I just can't understand it. Yes, they're good quality. But there are bikes in the world, better in quality, less in price. I am being heartfelt here: can someone please explain this to me?
I don't have any special inside knowledge, but just thinking about them and how they're made: - In terms of materials and construction, they're literally ~50% more bike than a standard 2 wheeler. More frame, more body, more mechanical bits, more wheels, more stuff. - While IMZ Ural has made strides in switching to industry standard parts, the last (as far as I know) 2WD sidecar rig still in production is, of necessity, going to have a bunch of specialized parts specific to the Ural sidecar rigs. Those sorts of specialized parts are expensive. - Urals are still, I believe, mostly hand built. There's not a factory of robots churning them out. Hand built is expensive. - Urals are low volume bikes. I think I recall they only make ~2000 bikes a year. Low volume, specialized vehicles (or anything else) tend to be expensive. I can't tell you whether $22k or whatever is worth it to you, and I totally get not wanting to spend that much on what, to most people, will be a toy. I'm just saying there are legitimate reasons Urals are expensive.
$22,000 for 3/4 of a car. There's an old phrase "There's a sucker born every minute" and I own a Russian tractor and a 1971 BMW 75/5 toaster but wouldn't pay that crazy price. Just my opinion
It's a great looking bike. But I wonder at parts availability considering the war climate with Russia now. But the main draw back for me is the highway speed versus cost. I have a Royal Enfield Bullet. It's dirt cheap (not side car), has a highway gear, and gets good mileage. The fun factor is just right for the price. I use my Super Tenere for long distance adventure though.
I rode down to Airdrie to see some new and a pre owned Urals in a show room at a consignment dealership on Nov 18. I was one of few riders on the road, it being mid November. Upon first seeing the Urals I was immediately impressed with how much larger they are compared to how they look in videos. I was also smiling because these machines look like they came straight out of a Mad Max movie. The Ural looks like it could go anywhere. So, I asked the young man attending to me if I could sit on one and he agreed I could do so. That is when the real issue with this Soviet era designed motorcycle arose and why I could never ride one, alas in its present configuration. I am a tall man, over six feet with large feet, size 13s. When you put those feet into motorcycle boots one ends up with a size 14 plus shoe that can not fit into the bizarre, moronic set up on the right side. First of all the boxter is the wrong motor for this set up. The cylinder head sticks out and one must place one's foot under the thing onto a foot rest for a midget and be able to manipulate the rear brake and the back up gear pedal, these are close to each other side by side. Then, if you are someone with a small foot and tiny boots, you still have to contend with one of two struts holding the side car to the bike. This front strut rested against the back of my leg. Indeed, I could not fit my boot under the cylinder and onto the pedals. And then, to think, there you are with that hot metal cylinder head and the giant fuel injection pipe, right there over top of your foot and at your shin. One bad bump and your foot would burn on the thing. I think Ural should get a hold of me and I will help them re design this thing so that it will be a much better product with an inline twin or V twin engine and not the boxter and an integrated frame and better strut placements.
We have fond memories of a prominent BMW dealer from back in the 60s and 70s who always said that customers would complain of the valve noise, so they would lighten the adjusters and eliminate all that noise.....then they would show up at the dealership and spend $$$$ on needed engine work caused by elimination of said valve clatter.........the more things change the more they stay the same.
I love it has a reverse gear. But those bikes are simply too expensive (nearly $30K) where I am in Australia. Rumour has it, a Chinese knock-off may be marketed, that could cost less than half of the Russian actual. But I want the real deal.
Hopefully the casting issues with the main gear box were fixed. The kickstarter has a tendency to cause a crack in the gearbox if the stroke ends up kicking it back. Not a good design, especially when it happens with 3k miles on a 3 year old Ural.
@@heindlengineeringmotorcycle Unfortunately to the tune of 3k for those finite owners. There was also an issue of the final drive gasket disintegrating within 1k miles. Among many other issues. Great looking bike, not very reliable though.
The clicking of the valves is so lout, the sound could also be one of a diesel engine. What is normal for this engine would be fatal signal on others. 🤣
That's cheating with electric start and efi.. My 1971 dnepr mt9 is kick start only and is twin carbs with chokes .. but usually starts in 3 kicks when temps are near 30 deg.
I think they are fabulous, old or new, just so different and stylish, long may they be in business.
We are a 10 year and counting Uralista family... Picked up our new '23 GU in late May after 10 years on a 2014 fuel injected Gear Up and could not be happier.
The new engine castings look fantastic....especially against that beautiful blue!

Very nice!!!
No messing with choke, throttle, dry kicks, stalling, lumpy idle, cursing, Urals are no fun anymore!
😂😂 Sure wish that my 2014 ran that smoothly. I wonder if there is an ultimate remap that can be done on the computer?
