Ural Motorcycles

Sadly, the Sidecar — traditionally made up of equal parts Cognac, Cointreau, and Lemon — is not exactly a morning drink.

Is there anything cooler than a motorcycle with a sidecar? No. The answer is no.

Ural has a motorcycle ready for Darth Vader with its new Dark Force special edition. The limited bike wears a blacked-out design and packs a light saber on the side.

These Russian bikers take their Urals white-water rafting and completely submerge the cycles to get across a raging river in an incredibly impressive feat.

Ural is taking its already very capable Gear Up motorcycle and making it even more capable for the woods with the new Sportsman Package. With additional body protection and lighting available, the bike should be ready for any trail.

The Midwest was hit by an intense snow storm earlier this week, and while the conditions may have been more appropriate for a snowmobile than most cars, at least one person found it acceptable weather in which to ride a motorcycle. Granted, this wasn't your typical motorcycle. Instead, it was a two-passenger, two-wheel-drive Ural being ridden along the snow-covered Interstate 65 in Indianapolis.

Ural, the Russian motorcycle company that specializes in sidecars, has never been known for groundbreaking designs that blaze a trail through electronic gadgetry or super lightweight composites on the way to the most technologically advanced motorcycles possible.
