I saw one of these today at Publix. Interesting. It has a BMW look
(horizontally opposed 2 cyl) with more of a WWII Harley body style,
with the springer front end. It had the sidecar like this but was a
machinery gray color.

I think I've seen only one in this country. I saw several in Europe, but they aren't very popular.
Bad reputation for reliability.



Didn't Mike and Frank on "American Pickers" stumble upon one in one episode?


This one looks brand new. I should have looked at the odometer.
I guess that does explain the WWII look I was talking about tho.
Reading a little on the Ural web site, it looks like the side car is
part of the design. They even talk about 2WD models. I am not sure if
they are all 2WD.
I was hoping to run into the guy and ask him about it but I waited
about as long as I wanted to be hanging around in a parking lot.
(policed up a few shopping carts, picked up a little trash, then I
started feeling like a stalker)



It probably was new. Ural Motorcycles are still made in Russia and
exported.


There are quite a few dealers in the US. One right up there in Boxborough, Mass.
