There is also a Dnepr made in Ukraine that looks like the Ural.
Went to a sidecar show last sat.There were a few Dnepr's and Ural's.They are not that expensive for old one's.
One Dnepr that stood out was powered by a Hatz 2 cyl. deisel!
The owner said it gets 100mpg.

Those are the nastiest POS bikes I have ever seen. And I have seen them lots.
People are really into those things tho. They remind me of shitty bicycles but back in the 70s. Fat rubber footpegs and a rubber bicycle pedal kick start, loose fitting vinyl on the spring tractor saddle and all.
People say they are reliable. I think they look dangerous at over about 10 mph or so.
These are bikes for people that were into rubicks cube when they were kids .
Something about horizontally opposed twins that just brings out the wierdos of the motorcycle world ...
