The Essential Guide to Motorcycle Travel
Tips, Technology, Advanced Techniques

Over the years it has become a tradition that the European Importer creates and orders a limited edition Ural motorcycle from the Siberian factory to be produced in small numbers. This year we have been bold and courageous in choosing a bright gloss red and matt black colour scheme, not usually associated with a classic motorcycle and sidecar design. The theme is based on the novel “The Hunt for Red October” by Tom Clancy and its movie version. The limited edition Ural will be launched to the public in the autumn 2009.

The Ural limited edition 2009 “Red October” sits lower than the standard Ural.18 inch wheels instead of the common 19 inch ones and the lower mounted sidecar along with the bright red paint gives an aggressive stance even when stationary. The lower centre of gravity also enhances cornering stability at higher speeds. - excerpt from www.ural.cc.com
