Ural 2WD Sidecar Motorcycle - MotoGeo Review

[@vertigoII]

I got to try a friends out yesterday. It is so fun. you just putter around looking at stuff, make lots of people smile and wave. It is different. I drove it like it was an antique and it felt right.

[@MrSlowestD16]

I need to ride one of these urals at some point in my life - they look so interesting offroad, lol. Looks very fun.

[@cott10r]

I ride in one of these a few years ago & it was an absolute blast!

[@terryjross]

Noticed that Jamie gives sidecars a thumbs up...not Ural's. Why isn't SOMEONE eating into Ural's sidecar business?

[@ClutchFirst]

Seems like a fun experience! 👍

[@sunsetritual129]

Awesome. I loved checking this bike out when you brought it to Deus. Looked like a lot of fun...

[@robfraley4210]

My Ural Patrol is my 22nd Bike since 1971 and you are Right, they certainly are a TRIP to drive. This is my First Ural and first 3 wheeler. Before this were 11 Harley's, mostly Electraglides......!!

[@annafraley5388]

Now we Also have a 2011 Harley Sportster as well as the 2015 Patrol (so 23rd bike) as we Could NOT do the No Leaning thing in the corners any longer..!! 😎👍✅

good zombie apocalypse vehicle

[@bigrobnz]

awsum colour!!!

[@ДмитрийГиренко-ц9ш]

Hello friends, I see you really like our urals, they are not very popular with us, they can be taken from us in the perfect condition of the old model for only 4 thousand dollars with

[@paulhudson6778]

Hi I am interested in buying one from Russia ,just need some contacts. PAUL Fom England

[@4pidgey357]

WARNING!!! Do not waste your hard earned money on this over priced piece of shit. There is zero factory quality control. You will be working on the damn thing more than riding it. I speak from experience.

[@4pidgey357]

Engine was at the dealer for over 2 months awaiting a new crank due to shitty welds on the oil slingers. F.D. pinion gear seal replaced twice. Powercoat flaking off of tub after 2 months. Neutral light not working due to faulty switch in the trans. Bike died on the road due to a bad hall effect sensor. All of this on a new bike. Honda like reliability? In your dreams!!

[@bomb00000]

what year model was yours because they got allot better around 2013 or 2010

[@4pidgey357]

2010

[@consti9641]

4pidgey On the old ones it is a problem

[@consti9641]

2manysecrets Mine worked for 1000 miles on 1 cylinder and it worked. It is very reliable even when its not working as it should.

[@ndgoliberty]

why does this remind me of a caterham?

[@lucklesscope8367]

I don't really get the whole thing about Ural sidecars. I get the sidecar, but not the Ural. There are tons of custom bikes out there with less issues compared to the Ural despite the latter has remained unchanged and unimproved for 70 years I say go and get any motorcycle sidecar and enjoy it while saving money/time/energy but still same experience

[@consti9641]

I have an Ural too, but the 650. Do you have the same feel that it has more power? Mine has to have 33 hp but for the weight it feels like 45 to 50

[@BernardsSumner]

Jamie should definitely try and blag a go on a racing sidecar.

[@kristianjavieraguirretorre4851]

Me gusta.

[@Hircine101]

What if you replaced the two rear tires with car tires?

[@richardblaauwgeers4349]

Jamie are you going to the TT this year?

[@EdmondDantes604]

Put it in K to go straight.

[@nikos-giorgos]

Crazy expensive though for a russian factory line that's been unchanged for 50 years or so.

[@xjinit]

νικος γιώργος They are just following Harleys business plan.

[@justacrlon3963]

That s the price of hand made

[@nikos-giorgos]

Handmade usually means exceptionally high quality and attention to detail not some ancient tech materials put together by russian hands!

[@justacrlon3963]

νικος γιώργος what do you mean by saying russian hands? do you think greek hands are better ?

[@nikos-giorgos]

justa crlon Definitely definitely not!!! The bike looks great, don't get me wrong but not at that price.Also i hear they moved headquarters in washington,so i'm not really sure about the "hands".

[@apropostt]

That looks like a blast!

[@gavinhusni]

more videos please jamie!

[@musixmadness]

I heard these have poor reliability. How many miles/kilometers did you put on it?

[@motoristan7707]

musixmadness These days they are much much better since 2010 you can call them reliable I have ridden one for about 15000kilometers and it was not breaking just once someone was at night stealing my front tire sorry for my english :D

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

musixmadness I've heard this too, and you can find other reviews that bring that up. That said they are probably no less reliable than the Harley's from the 70's & 80's. That Ural has added fuel injection and changed the brakes to Brembo in the past few years. I think Ural is slowly starting to update and improve their bikes, give it a few more years and they will likely be much more reliable.

[@JamesAllmond]

Like anything else, don't abuse, maintain properly and they last. Yep, that's pretty much it.

[@sycomcbastard7898]

nice review 👍😆

[@gavfance]

Yaaaaaaa!!! I'm gonna get one!!! :))))

[@minakaupo]

biggest mistake in your life, read this: advrider.com/index.php?threads/why-you-should-not-buy-a-ural-motorcycle.794963/

[@gavfance]

:O| thanks for the heads up

[@Jaebird82]

there are a ton of happy Ural riders that have never had issues other than regular maintenance. you can find "Why you should never buy a Honda" posts, too.

[@gavfance]

Touche

[@albion2742]

Not too long ago you could get one with a sidecar for under $10000

[@stoneblue1795]

I once killed a gofer with a stick too.

[@ItsMeHammie]

Could you take this bike on a cross country trip? How would it do on the freeway?

[@minakaupo]

That is engine from 1960-s. Crappy russian version of stolen BMW by ww2 . Its only 4 gear(that gearbox is eaven older desigin), wery wery old engine desingn.

[@josefst2677]

Kaupo Viljat its the exact same as the 1939 m 72 bmw

[@adsumgm]

it is not stollen,hitler gave themthe technology before WW2.so the engine is from the 30ties.it is a nice retro bike,made in siberia,that means that it is made for off road and harsh conditions.you can repear it on your own .it is romantic.

[@gerardjouvancourt5568]

@@adsumgm yes, all 50 kms....
