You can buy a BMW R90 and put a hack on it for less than the price of a Ural and have a better rig. Just sayin'. A Ural LOOKS cool, but they are broke-down pieces of crap sitting on the floor new. At one time I considered one...before I talked to owners and did my homework. Do not be the mythical lemming.

More a matter of expectations. If you expect Honda reliability and smoothness, you'll be very disappointed. These are mostly hand made by vodka-laden Russians (unfair stereotype, admittedly). Many have great experience but not without a hands-on maintenance and repair mentality....much like buying a 30 year old 911. Having other bikes in the stable, I'd love to have one. But would never expect it to tour like my HD or carve mountain roads like a Duc or K-bike.
Lots of rural unpaved roads around here that would be fun to explore with the dog, a kid, etc.
BTW....the one down in Lakeland sold already too. One day...
