2006 URAL PATROL 2WD 750cc Save $$ Sidecar Vintage

Description

I have owned this sidecar since spring 2013 and as I list this realize I put 236 miles on it in that time. It was purchased sort of as amoment to my father who had wanted one butunexpectedly passed away. (It will beridden and will have some more miles on her during the listing since I realize how little I've used her.)I have recently removed thevacuum petcock and replaced with a regular one so that you will have one less problem or thing to break although they are noted to be very reliable. Just installed a new battery and four new tires. I also removed the original Ural pipes and put some stock Harley pipes on it that makes it sound more like a motorcycle than a tractor.Not much to say - she never let me down the kids and most humans in general really get a kick out of seeing it on the roads. I don't see the need in keeping something I hardly ride though she needs to be ridden.I reserve the right to cancel this ad as she is for sale locally I may be able to deliver to the Northeast part of the country this summer.

A sidecar "rig" is attached to the right side of a regular two-wheeled motorcycle and is supported by a third wheel. Russia's Ural is one of very few manufacturers to sell sidecar motorcycles which offer vastly more passenger and cargo space than a typical motorcycle.

Ural's Patrol 750 features old-fashioned styling and technology.Motorcycle makers are going retro.To a regular motorcyclist a ride on Ural's Patrol 750 model is a very different experience. Instead of leaning into turns the Patrol has to be muscled around by the handlebars. On left turns the sidecar acts as a stabilizer but on right turns centrifugal force can pull the sidecar up in the air -- a white-knuckled experience for beginners.

The Patrol priced LESS than $13000 is suited for relaxed rides around town thanks to its retro styling and extra space. On a Sunday morning test drive other drivers and pedestrians offered thumbs up as the Patrol clad in dark green paint passed by.

Driving a sidecar motorcycle feels more like driving a car than a two-wheeler though its unusual physics leads the Patrol to wiggle around the road. The third wheel comes in handy when stopping for traffic lights -- no need to put a foot down for stability -- and parking is much easier.

Sidecar passengers get a soft seat with plenty of legroom and a windshield that eases windblast. Because the seat height is similar to a car riding in the sidecar feels more like being in a convertible than a motorcycle.

The Patrol's retro styling is more than skin deep. Ural's models are based on a BMW design from the 1930s. In the run-up to World War II Soviet engineers disassembled and copied the design of the BMW R71 to create a battle-ready vehicle according to the company.

Ural which produces the bike in its factory on the edge of Siberia has made some updates but the Patrol is still powered by a pushrod engine that produces 40 horsepower around half of what most modern motorcycles have.

With its modest power a four-speed gearbox -- most modern motorcycles have at least five gears and six is becoming commonplace -- and hefty curb weight of 739 pounds the Patrol is rather slow. It will keep up with traffic on local roads but the company says the maximum speed is only 62 miles an hour far below typical speeds on U.S. highways. Ural says fuel economy is between 26 and 33 miles per gallon.

Besides the extra storage space provided by the sidecar's trunk the Patrol has a number of clever features that further differentiate it from two-wheelers including a reverse gear and a parking brake. Another part of its retro design is a kick starter once standard on motorcycles but rare now that electric starters are reliable.

The Patrol has the ability to power the third wheel when off-road or in slippery conditions similar to four-wheel-drive in a Jeep. Along with Ural's Gear Up model which features camouflage green paint the Patrol is being marketed as a "sport-utility motorcycle" that can handle backwoods riding for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Patrol's off-road ability is further evident at low speeds where the third wheel gives it an incredibly tight turning circle – the bike feels like it can almost pivot in place.

Ural (www.ural.com) sold just over 500 motorcycles in the U.S. last year and just more than 2000 world-wide according to Madina Merzhoyeva vice president of marketing and sales for the company's U.S. unit. During the communist era the factory produced as many as 130000 bikes a year and Urals provided reliable transportation for families in the the Soviet Union she said.

In the U.S. Ms. Merzhoyeva says Ural has been working to overcome poor quality that plagued its models in the 1990s. Urals now come with a two-year warranty and she says the company has made many changes to improve fit and finish in recent years. It also plans to introduce new features including a fuel-injected engine.
