I forgot to ask if you could "like" the video ....If you would that would be great!!!!! I hope you enjoy this video... Thanks for voting for this video although in the end ,from 72 votes it was a 50/50 split of you wanting me to upload this or the mini bikes.
Being a new Ural owner, this all makes sense and he describes it very well. One initial comment from owning one, the suspension leaves a lot to be desired. Crude is the best term to describe it.
Rob was waffling on about how the bike works but I was too distracted by the girl in the short shorts. I may be epic, but I'm not made of wood 😅BTW, I was not expecting that price tag.
A great intro and overview of the different techniques needs and why, very interesting. I've always been slightly interested as nice to have something a little different, surprised at the price tag though. Thanks for posting
Sort of suits you TBH! 😂 I had a few years doing the long distance trials on an outfit, the sidecar quite a bit different though, just a basic perch for a seat, mainly standing up. Great fun! 😊
HIya, very interesting video thank You, But rather you than me matey I would never go in a sidecar, even the thought of it terrifies me. So thanks for being there for us I loved it.
Nice one Exmouth. Definitely a different experience and the rider did a good job of explaining and demonstrating everything. So it looks like I "only" have to go to Portugal to experience riding one for myself - food for thought 🤔 I do think that they are taking the Mick with the pricing though. It's not as if the bike is full of expensive tech. I mean, it's just metal and an engine with three wheels really. If they lowered the price they would probably sell a lot more because I don't believe that the sidecar outfit market is as niche as they think it is. I know at least three people myself who would love to have one but are put off by the price Ural ( one of the easiest ready to ride outfit options ) charge. Maybe RE could do a factory sidecar combination one day ? There is definitely a market for sidecar outfits but there are no reasonably priced options at the moment. Shame. Ruby would love to come out with me if I had one ! Cheers Exmouth, hope you are enjoying Bognor 🍦 El Outro 👍🏻
I think your right, sidecars could be much more popular than they are now, we just need a run of the mill outfit. BSA have teamed up with Watson to build there's, I would hope RE have a plan some where there. Ruby needs to be part of the soosage buying run. They are fun things but yes with the amount they sell dosent bring down the price. Custom money for a no custom bike. Eloutro from Boggy Bogner... Ti's a bit wet here😏😎
@@exeterrider Bummer ! I hope the weather improves for you and the crew Steve 👍🏻 I might go out and admire my Meteor later 😛 I know, that's called rubbing it in 👹😂 Have a nice holiday with the family, plenty of time the rest of the year for motorcycle related nonsense ! I really hope that RE or somebody makes a factory outfit for sensible money because I think adding one to a solo bike will be a real PITA with regard to getting it through the MOT, getting it approved in the paperwork and all of that. I've no idea how complicated that would be here in France, but my guess is DAMN complicated. For that reason, an already homologated, ready to register, factory outfit would be the dream ticket for me. I'd probably sell kidneys to get one ( not my own of course ! ). Cheers matey, El Outro and Roby
I have a 1991 Dnepr mt16 here in Wales which looks similar, but is quite a different beast to ride, in that it is 2-wheel drive on-road machine with a diff, so a lot of the bias is not there when accelerating and even braking. Down side is if you get the sidecar up in the air, it gets quite dangerous as the now fast spinning wheel lands on the floor again. Both the Ural and 2-wheel drive Dnepr have their advantages and disadvantages, and having owned and ridden both, I still don't prefer one over the other. I've also owned IMZ 350 Jupiter outfits in the past and a IMZ planeta sport that was great fun as a solo but would make a rubbish outfit. Excellent video, very informative and well put together. Thanks/Diolch.
I appreciate you thought it was good...I thought I did well on it too but the video was a flop really. You know your stuff with this subject then...Yes I can imagine it getting "interesting" when that spining whell hits the ground again....I bet its a right laugh!"
Great stuff ER Very popular machine not cheap He wa wrong tho with the kick start as you know the kick start on British bikes were on the right not the left Cracking 😊😊
Me too! On the flip side there is a lot of bike&side car there I suppose, I do have one in my dream garage now but only because its something different to ride. Its fun in the side car and I'd imagine its quite fun to ride aswell with its funny characteristics....Hopfully I'll have a go at one sometime! I will take you for a spin. I'm sure you won't be a bag of nerves at all.
I'll give Ural credit when the war with Ukraine first started the Ural website was immediately updated to say they did NOT support it. I think that took some guts to make that statement very early on. Very nice change of pace.👍👍
Really enjoyed this vid ER, I actually had a mate who had a Ural outfit I got to ride in the chair and the bike, a very different experience, very enjoyable mind! If I could I’d have one in my collection! Great stuff!👍🏻👍🏻
Ello mate, Yeah , although this video bombed I really ejoyed making it. I have a Ural in my dream garage and would be perfect up on Dartmoor with a few people on board. Here I do a Mark blooper at the end of my Meteor video I released today : ) Thanks : )
Wow they really thought about braking when building it that's good to see. Wow £22k is a little bit more than I was thinking however I suppose you do get a lot of bike, sidecars I know aren't cheap, spare wheels etc. I never rode a bike with a sidecar, however I imagine it can't be as easy as it looks👀 Only 42bhp? wow that's surprising, I hope you could feel the torque power 🤘 I have to admit the braking options are impressive, thankfully you had Rob piloting it as he clearly knows his stuff. I bet being off the ground felt so strange in the sidecar 🤣 Great video mate, definitely something different. I bet you loved every second of it, certainly looked a good laugh. Hope you're well bud.
Yes I did enjoy it, I was hesitant about trying it because I couldnt see much pint in them , and in many ways they still don't make sense to me BUT I do have one in my dream garage now, reason being its just a fun thing to ride in and on I would imagine. Its a lot of money, I can see why its that costly being made where it is in small numbers but its an expensive toy at the end of the day. imagine going out with a mate (red) in the side car, the rider not knowing what to do or control it , then add a green lane ....I dont think it gets better than that : ) I forgot to say you new logo is really good, out side looking in, it really pops!
@@exeterrider Yeah I think pretty much the same. I bet they are great fun, me and Red would end upside down in a ditch somewhere 😂 Thank you so much mate, I’m well happy with it, looks so much better than before 🤘
Nice to have you back Phil. I do wonder how your getting on. Sorry to hear your going through it still...Yes the idiots are still here and knocking out the vids. Get well soon xx
If they didn't have all those facy European parts they would be a lot cheaper. Nitron shocks are $2,500 a set.Heidenau tires are more expensive than Duros. Stainless steel exhaust system costs $1,600. Ducati ignition system is $500.EFI adds $1,500. Nippondenso generator + Brembo disc brakes. All of the Russian parts on my 25 years old URAL are still good. The should make a economy model along side the ones with all the bells and whistles. 2 wheel drive costs $2,500. That bike could be sold for $10,000-$12,000 for the cheaper model. Disc brake models have the same stopping distance as the drum braked model. Mikuni carbs had to be replaced because of ethanol gas corroded them. People complain about the ride even with the Nitron shocks,l have no problems with the Russian shocks.l go 50-55 MPH just cruising around. Of course there are all the accessories that you can put on the bike like luggage racks,spare tire etc. l like the stainless steel exhaust system but it is a want not a need. I like my Duro sidecar tires. Don't need fancy German tires. I like carberaters. No fuel pump needed either. Cheap and good value for the money 💰. Used bikes are best. No depreciation.
I have just bought a used Retro model. They are lower, longer and wider than the average Ural. It looks like it just rolled out of 1930. It is the only Ural I have ever liked the look of.
Side cars have always been expensive. Price a Watsoñian or a Champion sidecar. Side cars have always been as expensive as the motorcycle that pulls it. Buy used.7 years ago I bought my 1999 URAL Tourist with 4,000+ miles on her for $4,000 in running condition. Replaced some parts over the years due to age but that's normal. Rode her as my primary transportation for 3 years after a leg injury. Sidecars either you love them or you hate them. They take up a lot of space in the garage so if they are unwanted they get sold fast.
These bikes are basically copies of German Army BMW's that were captured on the Eastern Front during WWII with the engines being virtually unchanged from the original bikes .
I must be honest i was shocked how much these cost. Pity Royal Enfield didn't make these. Seriously, you could get a cracking little sports car or ATV for those prices.
What a surprising renaissance of the Ural sidecar motorcycles. The number of videos from Ural owners has been increasing extremely recently. Can you still buy the Urals in the West? As is well known, the Ural plant is in Russia and the West is currently murdering its own economy with its sanctions on Russia.
No! Really! ER!? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME? buy another bike? I am unsubbing again! I did go to an RE dealership and he thinks he can make a 350 and side car for under 11k. Bit when I told him I was in he kinda went quite. Hope to make a partnership with him and ride the RE lineup on my small channel and get a 650 RE with a side car. We will see. Ural is hard to find here in America
30 odd years ago (jeez, is it really that long ago!!!) I used a Jawa combination over winter due to shiftwork and lack of public transport. I think I am still suffering ptsd to this very day.....🫢😨😱
I forgot to ask if you could "like" the video ....If you would that would be great!!!!!

🤣Yes I only sorted that after you said, yes I wasn't expecting that price tag either but held it together on camera. 800 for a tyre aswell!
That was a treat, been looking forward to this, I like quirky. Please can we have more of you being thrown about 👍😊

Awesome, thank you! Yes I guess thats what happens when you don't sell a lot of something ....its a huge investment! Thanks for watching mate.
Sort of suits you TBH! 😂 I had a few years doing the long distance trials on an outfit, the sidecar quite a bit different though, just a basic perch for a seat, mainly standing up. Great fun! 😊
I bet that was brilliant fun Ken. I'm glad I tried it and know a bit more what its all about. Trials on one would be amazing!
Went in my grandads side car when I was 7 in 1966 when england won the World Cup. A British bike riding with a Union Jack after winning.
Now that's a memory !
Love side cars!!! That was so much fun and really interesting. Thanks for sharing! 😱 Price!!
It read a good experience but yes I don't think I'll be buying one anytime soon!
That looked so much fun! So cool to see something a little different.
Thanks mate, thought the same,🙏👍
HIya, very interesting video thank You, But rather you than me matey I would never go in a sidecar, even the thought of it terrifies me. So thanks for being there for us I loved it.

Hello, if the sidecar is mounted to the right side of the Ural. Then the kick starter is usable.
Bit pricey for something that is basically a left over from WW2, ER.
You'd have looked more at home with a steel helmet and a Kalashnikov rifle.
Yeap, its big money isnt it, alot of choice out the for 24k , its a one off I guess. Rifles are an optional extra .
£24k….. They are having a’kin laugh😂😂😂
