  • Ural Motorcycles are Soviet-style sidecar motorbikes that have been made in Siberia since World War II. But in 2000 a group of Russian entrepreneurs led by Ilya Khait bought the brand, left manufacturing in Russia, moved headquarters to Seattle, and began marketing the bikes to young riders with discretionary funds and wanderlust. Bloomberg Pursuit's Hannah Elliott went to Seattle to try out one of these cold-war relics. (Video by Zach Goldstein)

      As I understand, the special editions based on the cT and the cT model itself are all 1WD. The Tourist, GearUp & Sahara are 2WD. In Pacific NW, price for the cT starts $12.9K; 2WD models start around $15.5. Every model is customize-able. So yeah. Quite an investment, but if you look at Honda Goldwings, any Harley other than a Sportster, or a trike of some kind, $15-20K isn't all that bad. And it's all metal construction! :-)

    I like the URAL bikes, but please, credit needs to go where it belongs.
    This is a 100% German design and concept of a military motorcycle.
