Ural Australia has announced two new distributors to sell and support its popular range of Russian bikes and trailers in New Zealand.

This Star Wars Themed Ural Motorcycle Sidecar Comes With A Lightsaber
The Ural is a modern model based on the 70-year-old BMW R71 pre-World War II German Red Army motorcycle. Although more modern now, the retro models are dead ringers for those Nazi Blitzkrieg motorcycles you see in war movies.
This 750 with a boxer engine is said to be perfect for off-roading or riding on bad roads unlike most.
To begin with, it is difficult to buy the bike itself – the factory in the Ural Mountains sees such an arrangement as a time-consuming pest. If the Ural also uses a sidecar, a driving style that – while requiring initial training to get right – is certainly safer in the long run.
Second, military versions of the Urals were often used as weapons carriers in Third World armies (Saddam Hussein bought 300 before the Second Gulf War).
Ural Gets Naked With The New Gear Up Base
Given the approval of the Russian authorities, these bikes can still be mounted in a container with a machine gun or rocket launcher of your choice. I didn’t see a weapons rack on the New Zealand Ural, but the retro models carry some neat stuff, including oil canisters, shovels and spare tires. And, of course, these retro Urals come with reverse and low-speed two-wheel drive options.
New Zealand expat Kurt Nielsen, Katikati, recovering from the daily grind, used to joke that he’d like to get that with a shot of “Auckland traffic”.
The semi-retired engineer and lifelong trailer enthusiast remains popular among the Kiwi-Australian fraternity. He taught customers how to safely operate their bikes and trailer. In addition to selling and servicing Urals, he has put together hundreds of motorcycles of all shapes and sizes with sidecars. Kurt will continue to do so. He remains a devoted Ural driver and enthusiast of the unique model, optimistic about its future.
“Ownership of the Ural seems to be taking over in the West for many reasons. Many motorcyclists who have long owned, say, a Triumph, Harley or BMW, seem to like the Ural as a collector’s model. And because it is still considered Weird, it seems that the big brands don’t mind if one of their dealers buys Ural again.”

This way of life, as well as fashion for riding, suited the Russian factory. The bikes have always boasted easy maintenance, reliability on the road and come with a full range of tools. He was expected to perform across the former Soviet Union, from arctic Siberia to the desert deserts of Kazakhstan.
Even though they don’t seem to want to drive a fast car, they manage even in bad weather. In addition, due to the modern requirements of imitation and the need to solve the question of historical reliability, many materials modified outside of Russia are used.
The actual transmission and engine gears are manufactured by Herzog (Germany); Ducati manufactures electronic ignition devices; floating disc brakes are made by Brembo, and the alternator is Japanese Denso.
The old steel rims were replaced with aluminum ones. Sachs makes shock absorbers, Marzocchi telescopic forks and retro models. Most of the bearings are SKF and – until the standard oil version takes over – the Keihin carburettor is made in Japan.

I prefer the look of the old drum Urals from the 1970s and 80s, which look more like low-tech WWII motorcycles. And those old bikes had one big advantage: they cost about half as much as the Japanese machine.
But despite all that, today’s bike lovers can’t get enough of the new millennium Ural. Twenty-two Ural dealers have been established in the US this year, and Kurt says sales of Urals in Australia are growing.
“Ural Australia owner Jon Taylor has been in the motorcycle business most of his life, so he understands what it takes to succeed in a tough market. Riding a Ural is like joining a big family of motoring enthusiasts.”
