Ural Ct 750
The Ural CT 750 is part of the lineage of Soviet-era Ural motorcycles produced by IMZ (Irbit Motorcycle Works) in Russia, with roots dating back to the early 1940s when the USSR reverse-engineered the BMW R71 for military use. The CT (or 'Tourist') variant was developed as a solo touring model without a sidecar, sharing the same air-cooled 750cc flat-twin (boxer) engine platform used across the Ural lineup. Ural motorcycles gained a cult following worldwide for their retro styling, rugged simplicity, and affordability, with the brand surviving post-Soviet economic turmoil and continuing production into the 21st century.

What Buyers Should Know
Simple, Rebuildable Engine
The CT 750 uses an air-cooled boxer twin that is mechanically straightforward, making DIY maintenance realistic even for non-mechanics. Parts are relatively affordable and the engine can be rebuilt without specialty tools.
Watch for Electrical Issues
Older Ural models including the CT 750 are known for weak electrical systems and unreliable charging components — inspect the alternator, regulator, and wiring harness carefully before buying. Post-2014 models saw notable quality improvements.
Stable Niche Resale
Urals hold a loyal cult following, which stabilizes resale value compared to mainstream bikes of similar age. A well-maintained CT 750 rarely sells for much less than a neglected one, making condition the biggest price driver.
