This.

Plus you can ride them in all sorts of conditions and greatly extend your riding season (for those who have winter).

Since the engine is a complete theft and ripoff of a BMW airhead from the WWII era, I should severely dock points for that. However I am going to be lenient this time and give it an awesome rating. :mrgreen:

I voted: Awesome

$10k and you get a sidecar plus legendary "built tough" reputation and some interesting URAL history thown in for free as well. Maybe because the Ural T (in fact all URAL models) haven't really evolved a lot over the years that they have been able to be so reliable and basic (one follows the other there for sure), easy to work on and fix. I am not sure how refined they are or how powerful on the road (40hp and 38 torque isn't much in as a number for a 739lb unit).

In these times of economic stress it is good to see companies like URAL offering something to it's customers at a low, low price.

$10k is a steal when you also consider it will extend your riding season...if you want to try riding on snowy roads!

This has to be Awesome! I love the coolness of Urals and I think it's wicked they are providing a cheaper option now for those who don't want to "invest" more than 10K for a motorcycle.

And I love this statement from Ural:

"Obviously customers who buy the Ural, do so for a life-time. Once you have one, you do not give it away again."

Cocky? Maybe. But probably very true!!! :mrgreen:
