Actually, I'm not concerned about serious speed, as I've got other bikes. But one of my joys in life is torturing my accountant siblings by showing up on more and more impractical modes of transport, and I'd love to putter up on a dirty, sputtering Ural Solo, as it already looks a hundred years old. Just curious if it actually could manage the 400-mile trip on county roads doing 50-something mph.
