90kph top speed. The retires chair I like to think of em as. Don't get me wrong I like em, but would I own one nope I'm not a mechanic. I met bloke at Dargo had a well set up one, I really liked it. I also like the way he just stuffed everything into the chair and packed it up when he got home. Get for hang overs, stuff and go. He was at the Alpine this year too come to think of it. I only have stationary pic. Do a YouTube search and check out the dude slamming his around some heavy duty dirt. And yup they do have reverse.Cheers Fati --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?jbnumv havafati screwed with this post 06-21-2012 at 02:14 PM |

Noticed it has an electrically warmed seat - Bazza would like that ... Four forward and one reverse gear ... 40HP, with a two-wheel-drive model available overseas ... About as quirky you could get, but looks great ... Hoots screwed with this post 06-21-2012 at 04:10 PM |

You don't need to be a mechanic; I'm not one for sure. The tasks are so simple it makes you feel like a mechanic. The first time I had to grease the splines on the shaft I put it off because it sounded like a big job, but when I came to doing it is was ridiculously easy. Remove the back wheel, then two nuts and the final drive slips out in you hand. Grease the spline and reverse the process - finished in under 10 minutes. It's not the big deal a few make out.

Yep! Definitely a love it or hate it thing; it took a long time for me to shake off the idea that I had to be able to do certain speeds. It's something you've often lived with for many years and it's not easy to make the mental change of gear. I found is it worthwhile...
I had a Honda ST1100 when I got the Ural. The Honda sat unused in the shed for a year before I sold it; I enjoyed riding the Ural far more.

My partner would probably get into it also ... I eventually convinced her to sit on the FE390 last weekend, but of course it then fell off its stand and squashed her - has renewed her vows against bikes - a beautiful retro bike and sidecar cruising at 90-100kph might reverse that ... Let us know when you're likely to be in CBR, and we'll see whether we can get together ... |
