WOLF VS. MONSTER

[HypeDOG]

Don't mean to sound like a "pencil", but who voted for the Wolf?

I don't see the contest. As a comparison, it's really strange. It's kinda like saying "Diablo or F150"?

Just don't get it.

Have a closer look guys, the Ural engine looks so .... BMW!

I remember, when I was living in Europe, I've seen once a brand new Ural featuring an almost identical copy of an older BMW boxer engine.

Still, the pinnicle of motorcycle design circa 1955

The ural series bikes are ugly and abnormal looking, which is why I love them and voted for the wolf. Besides I'm not a sporter/street bike fan anyways. I'm planning on getting a ural with a sidecar, eventually.

Recently spent some time in East Germany and have seen some of the relics left over from the Russian's. I would suspect the Wolf is held together with duct tape.

I also wondered what might be optional, sometimes on Russian made vehicles to prevent having to raise the price, they make lots of things optional, on the cars, it's things like steering wheels and tires.

Actually, they've come a long way in quality control and reliability in the past few years. They're not for everyone - but then, what bike is?

The official version reads that, after long discussion and debate, the BMW R71 motorcycle was decided to most closely match the Red Army's requirements. Five units were covertly purchased through intermediaries in neutral Sweden and smuggled to Russia. Soviet engineers in Moscow busily dismantled the 5 BMWs. They copied every detail of the BMW design and made moulds and dies to produce their own engines and gearboxes in Moscow. Everything about the bike was reverse engineered. Early in 1941, the first trial samples of M-72 motorcycles were shown to Stalin, who immediately approved production of the motorcycles.
