IMZ-Ural (Russian: Ирбитский мотоциклетный завод, tr. Irbitskiy Mototsiketniy Zavod) is a Russian maker of heavy motorcycles.[clarification needed] Many of its models also have sidecars.

In 1940, the Soviet Union acquired the design and production techniques for BMW R 71 motorcycles and sidecars. The first M-72 model was finished in 1941. Originally, factories were to be located in Moscow, Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), and Kharkov, but due to the approach of Nazi German troops, the Moscow facilities were moved to Irbit, and the Leningrad and Kharkov facilities to Gorkiy (now called Nizhny Novgorod).

A similar model is the Soviet (now Ukrainian) Dnepr motorcycle. Both Ural and Dnepr motorcycles are sometimes known by the generic name, "Cossack motorcycles," which was used between 1973 and 1979 by SATRA in the United Kingdom.

Plans for the M-72 were later sold to the Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation, a Chinese industrial firm, to build the Chang Jiang.

  • @Narancazz They "say" that you should keep it at "65 MPH" but they max out at 77 MPH so you'd be pushing it. People do ride cross country etc. But you probably won't be going more than 70MPH. To me it's more of a offroad and snow commuter. Aka the "shitty weather mobile" For speed and long distance I stick with my SV650SF.

  • are the ural motorcycles suitable for road trips from state to state? in other words are they ok at reachng speeds uf up to 75mph on free ways being the average speed for vehicles in most free ways?
