the pipes kinda throw the line off ... an I'm not really a fan of BMW, the bags fit well though in the flow and the boots are functional

Ummmmm....kinda looks like a Beemer sticker on the tank there...but I know the Ural looks a lot like it. Only a Ural can't get out of it's own way. I think they're top speed is like, 70.

Transmissions are way different too, with Russian bikes having a clutch arm on the right side, sticking straight up ....
Trust me I know and LOVE my Beemers
as well as having lots of experience ditching Russian cops on my little Jawa and CZ back in the day ....
Ural and Dnepr made about 30HP on a good day and weight a ton. Side cars were all steel and I think they used gas pipe for frames ... nothing light-weight about those bikes.
Sidecars don't go thru back alleys the way little enduro does either !

If you have ever seen the road ( or lack of it ) system outside of russian city's you'd understand why that might be a good thing , most of that country is mud bog for roads .
