I found a Dnepr MT-11 in a barn at an estate sale and purchased it. It was cheap because the engine was stuck. I wanted the sidecar and it's frame if the bike was not salvageable. After I got it home I got the engine unstuck and got it sort of running. I removed the heads and cylinders and found all sorts of assembly problems. Little wonder the bike had just 164 Km on the odometer. It was running poorly on just the left cylinder. While waiting a month for parts to arrive I fixed the leaking valves in the heads, honed the cylinders, resurfaced the cylinders where they meet the head gaskets, and unstuck the rings on the Pistons. The engine now runs perfectly and starts easily on a single kick. I love my Dnepr MT-11 with it's sidecar!

Wow I just realized I have been watching you way before the war. Hope all is well and may God be with you and your countryman.

Your photos shared in this video are fantastic! I currently have a Cozy sidecar attached to my Triumph T120 and have ridded about 8K miles thus far. Thanks for the Dnepr & Ural history lesson, much appreciated.

Interesting video ;-) Thanks for you work always fun to see the history behind older brands.

Good vid and yes Ural is alive and well in America with modernization . Keep up the great vids!

I love those original military style Urals .

Thanks for a very entertaining and interesting clip.

Good video- great history lesson.. I have 2010 Ural.. Bought some metal leg guards from someone in Kiev. Love my bike! from Canada

I love my 2014 Ural M70. Very reliable, and fun to ride. :)

In the USSR, sidecar motorcycles of the IZH-Planet and IZH-Jupiter brands were produced in large numbers. Their strollers were lighter and more modern in design (like the Honda flashed in this video). But, apparently due to finer iron, they are few preserved, rarely see.

I have a 1998 1/2 URAL side car outfit Tourist.All the Russian parts are still working.I replaced helical gears and the drive shaft. Left cylinder broke and replaced that. Right cylinder broke and bent con rod . Over hauled the engine. Put 50,000 miles on the bike. Used it for daily transportation for 3 years due to leg injury. Fires on first or second kick. People walk pasterows of $50,000 HD CVO's to tell me how cool my bike is. New bike has lots of expensive upgrades like stainless steel exhaust system. German shocks and tires. Ducati ignition system. Brembo disc brakes. Italian wheels. EFI because of pollution controls.Wish they made a economical one to go along with the expensive one as a alternative. Wished it still came with the machine gun. Perfect for the Zombie Apocalypse.

How the world has changed since this video went public . I`m glad it`s still around .

Great vid. Got my Ural Gear-Up in 2005 for only $10,000.00 brand new. I'm surprised at how much the cost has gone up now. Love my bike and looking forward to some trips this summer.

Loved this I have a 2014 ural and ride and use it all the time. the older 650 are cool, like the solo idea of the ural, keep up the great work. so hard to find any Russian channels in English and google translate poorly. i was very interested in your take on the dnepr so i be watching and look forward to anything you send out. thanks

Thanks for the video, today the price on my land for a Ural is 36.000€ I fucking love Ural since ever. But that’s a price that is unreachable for most people

Regardless of who saved Ural... those of us with them (my wife has a pre-FI Gear Up) are glad they were saved. Very unique bikes. While $18k sounds like a lot for a bike (and it is)... compared to other factory sidecar bikes in the US (or other 3 wheel designs) it's VERY inexpensive.

Спасибо , что сделали такую работу (озвучка и перевод хорошие) ... Смотрят такие видео за бугром...

I have a 1964 Ural love my machine. Also build a V.W. trike. Love that also . Plus a 1969 Iron head hardtail chopper love that also.

Bought one in Inverness Scotland and toured the Highlands. No trouble, except the very LOW OCTANE petrol needed...Luckily that's NO PROBLEM in the Highlands....Great machines....

Great channel Denys, I'm really enjoying your daily videos/updates. Your country will 100% win it's freedom. 🇺🇦🇬🇧 P.S your shirt is awesome. 👍

I would like to get a Ural, but importing to my country cost the same as a excellent condition 90's Harley Electra Glide with factory sidecar. I know the Ural is made for sidecar, but would the Harley be a better deal at the same price point?

Great video, man! End ... GREAT ENGLISH too !!!!

Thank you 🙏, been looking for information on this bike

Thank you Dennis for making this awesome video! I always love learning a bit more about where my 1972 Ural 650 came from! I am considering buying another Ural from Russia(or nearby) but I am not sure where I should be looking, are there any websites for buying/selling of motorcycles in russian/ukraine ? Thanks again!

If any four of the companies made something like hero I was standing in line to get one

so umm, what was the best? what about jawa, ic, triumph, chang jiang?

@Road Home >>> At 07:51 in this video: Can I order a DNEPR or URAL that INCLUDES _HER??_ 😄😄😄

How much would it cost to import an old ural to the USA from, considering the current state of things, probably like Romania or something?

Ich fahre ein URAL Ranger Gespann und es ist wunderbar

Do you know about Sidecar used with the Jawa 350 (Two Stokes)? I have a Jawa 350 and I am thinking about add a Sidecar...

Ural is totally different from the outers. slow clunky cool looking military style. Harley/BMW are able to do serious highway cruising.

Idk where you got that 18k USD but it was 18k CAN here in Quebec when I bought my 2018 in 2018, an M70

Браво 👍😁🖐️

Hi, I live in Spain and I am looking for a Ural or Dnepr sidecar. I have seen the really atractive prices in Ukraine but for me is really dificult due to the language. Could you please help me finding one?

Ural is best, hands down

I have a ural patrol and a kawasaki with a DMC sidecar.

URAL the Best!👊💪😎🇧🇷

How reliable are the new ones?

All is fine, but first M-72 was produced on Moscow motorcycle plant, which was evacuated to Irbit in face of German assault. Kiev motorcycle plant was founded afterwards.

You are wrong about Dnepr production, its haven't started until 1952, only Urals (M72) were made prior and during the war

Привет. Еле нашел твой канал. Почему-то в ютубе поиск тебя не видит. Подписался, хотя мой уровень английского не позволяет понять дословно о чем речь)

Can you ride the bikes out of Ukraine into the EU if you buy one there? I would be very interested because I would like to buy a Dnepr soon and it seems they are a bit cheaper in Ukraine than in Hungary.

@Road Home >>> At 05:23 in this video: Is that a SOLID front fork on that motorcycle?

Salut from Greece Russia

The new Ural it's way too expensive

Mam urala M63 super sprzęt 😁

Переведите пожалуйста что говорит за Днепр????

А человек, который проехал 15 000 км на Урале через Монголию - это не МотоСанчо? =)

Change speed to 0,25 and be ready to stop after 7:45

well the best is MW750 dude

@Road Home >>> For a non-Russian speaker like me, HOW do YOU pronounce _"Ural"?_ Spelling phonetically, I say "your-al" {"al" as in my first name, Allan}. However, it sounds like Russian speakers say "your'll"? And remember: (Q) What do you call a person who speaks TWO languages? (A) Bilingual. (Q) What do you call someone who speaks ONE language? (A) _American._ 😝😝😝😝

Hi Denys. Didnt know you were on utube, before Putins cowardly attack. I have a KMZ/Dnepr from 1969 formoly painted in Soviet colours. Nov the soviet stars are painted over in Ukrainian colours as a war trophy. Slava Ukraini.

Regarding the _landscape_ shown at 08:26 in this video: I have lived in North Carolina, USA, since 1995. However, I was born & raised in St. Petersburg, FLORIDA, USA. That said, all that SNOW & ICE? *_BLEH...._* 😁😁😁😁

No mention of Jawa or Iž? Booo..

Urals are just too expensive. They used to be cheap in the 1970s [in the UK]

The new ural has had substantial engine reinforcement and is probably almost as good as the old bmw,

Виявляється,я знаю англійську,в об'ємі,необхідному для розуміння розповіді про мотоцикли з боковим причепом))).Хоча в мене "Дніпро-Соло".

Your talk so funny🤣😂

BMW of corse.

I’m planning to buy old Ukrainian MT 10-36 “Dnipro” and restore it

marga lmao

If you buy a brand new Ural, you have to rebuild the Engine completely before the first serios ride - scrap!

Motor un kıralı Ural

Pft vermoeiend

Here's the list of motorcycles from the communist era, from best to worst: 1 MZ or ETZ 250cc eastern Germany 2 Jawa 350cc Czechoslovakia 3 Jupiter 350cc USSR 4 Ural 650cc CCCP Change my mind, LOL.

new Gear Up Urals are boring bikes for americans^^ KMZ>IMZ let the shitstorm begin

*"PARTS MADE IN CHINA"* *"...FIT..."* 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

Like many I found you because of your excellent videos documenting the genocidal russian war in Ukraine. I hope when this is all over you have the opportunity to do a motorcycle video with someone like Starsky as a throwback on your channel.

As soon as I saw the US dollar with Trumps face on it, I closed the video. After that bullshit, nothing you said mattered.
