Found a 2004 Tourist a while ago for a real deal and have been fussing with it. As I have been riding BMW bikes for years, this was easy as its a copy of a 1939 BMW that the German Army used.
Here is a pic of the bike after being towed out of a hangar where it had been sitting for years, dust, missing fender and so on. Friend of mine ridiing it in the pic enjoyed the ride so much he is looking for a used Ural right now.
What I want it to look like after I get all of the bugs worked out...
Just remember, this is not a touring bike. Its a fun bike to ride around town or on short trips but you are not going to hop on it and ride 75 mph for 500 miles. Its not designed for that and remember, this is a upgraded copy of a 1939 motorcycle.
