2009 Ural Sahara
By (I am an Owner) on Jan 31, 2010I can't speak for what Ural quality was for earlier models but I can tell you my 2009 Ural Sahara is built like a tank and was able to handle a cross country trip from Chicago to Ocean City and down to Miami without any problems accept for a speedo malfunction which Ural shipped a replacement, ready ... and waiting for me (no questions asked) to one of my destinations. I rode the rig through all kinds of weather and temperatures with no issues. If your looking for a comfortable LazyBoy cruiser, high technology, high performance, high speed, or a dealership that bleeds you with costly visits---a Ural is not for you. If looking for a bike with personality (makes friends instantly where ever you are), a blast to ride (summer or winter), pathetically easy to service, awesome comfort for your passenger in the sidecar (spacious), off-road capable, a rig that can take a serious beating, high payloads, and a passion for days past---it's the bike for you. I have now put about 7,000 miles on it in less than a year and with the exception of the speedo replacement (took less than 10 minutes to swap out and that's with a cigarette break) it's been headache free which is a far better experience than the first 5 months of owning my BMW or Ninja. Do I wish for some improvements---sure: bit more hp, larger gas tank, and another cutie sitting in the jump seat behind me in addition to the one always sitting in the sidecar, but it's still my favorite bike to ride. I think the guys who complain about the lack of comfort/handling are little girls---the rig is old technology and such, sissy proof.
