    I found a Dnepr MT-11 in a barn at an estate sale and purchased it. It was cheap because the engine was stuck. I wanted the sidecar and it's frame if the bike was not salvageable. After I got it home I got the engine unstuck and got it sort of running. I removed the heads and cylinders and found all sorts of assembly problems. Little wonder the bike had just 164 Km on the odometer. It was running poorly on just the left cylinder. While waiting a month for parts to arrive I fixed the leaking valves in the heads, honed the cylinders, resurfaced the cylinders where they meet the head gaskets, and unstuck the rings on the Pistons. The engine now runs perfectly and starts easily on a single kick. I love my Dnepr MT-11 with it's sidecar!

    In the USSR, sidecar motorcycles of the IZH-Planet and IZH-Jupiter brands were produced in large numbers. Their strollers were lighter and more modern in design (like the Honda flashed in this video). But, apparently due to finer iron, they are few preserved, rarely see.

    I have a 1998 1/2 URAL side car outfit Tourist.All the Russian parts are still working.I replaced helical gears and the drive shaft. Left cylinder broke and replaced that. Right cylinder broke and bent con rod . Over hauled the engine. Put 50,000 miles on the bike. Used it for daily transportation for 3 years due to leg injury. Fires on first or second kick. People walk pasterows of $50,000 HD CVO's to tell me how cool my bike is. New bike has lots of expensive upgrades like stainless steel exhaust system. German shocks and tires. Ducati ignition system. Brembo disc brakes. Italian wheels. EFI because of pollution controls.Wish they made a economical one to go along with the expensive one as a alternative. Wished it still came with the machine gun. Perfect for the Zombie Apocalypse.

    Regardless of who saved Ural... those of us with them (my wife has a pre-FI Gear Up) are glad they were saved. Very unique bikes. While $18k sounds like a lot for a bike (and it is)... compared to other factory sidecar bikes in the US (or other 3 wheel designs) it's VERY inexpensive.

      My wife puts a couple thousand miles a year on her 13 (last gen - still carburated) and has had zero issues. The key to longevity with the older models is treating it like a bike with 20hp - the bike will go 60mph but it's working too hard and won't hold up. She rides everywhere at 40-45mph ... MUCH better speed range for the older bikes. With the new FI bikes there's more power so maybe faster is now OK but I don't know how they fare on reliability.
