From what Ive heard, VERY reliable if taken care of, and if something does break, they are supposedly very simplistic.

To anyone who’s interested, buy a Ural, not a Chiang Jiang. The Russian bikes are OHV, have an alternator, and electric start. Chiang Jiangs have half the horsepower due to being flatheads, have a magneto, and are kick only. The Chinese have not updated the bike from the original BMW design from the 30’s, the Russians have.

My brother and I …
My brother and I inherited my dad’s Gear Up, and now, my brother is looking to sell his Honda CBR so he’s got more time to ride the Ural. It gets looks and smiles everywhere we ride it. Also, it is for tough, it sat outside, under a cover, all winter, and still started right up in May.

say, how bad would it be if i wanted to disconnect the sidecar and run the bike solo. as nice as the stability is during the winter months, i would rather have something that i could ride a bit more nimbly during nice days.

only downside is that you lose little more torque and horsepower with a shaft drive than whith chain drive. but shaft drive is superior in maintainance. I think it is worth it…
