Ural Patrol 750
The Ural Patrol 750 has a top speed of ~105 km/h, produces 41 hp and weighs ~335 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.
The Ural Patrol 750 is produced by IMZ-Ural, a Russian manufacturer with roots dating back to 1941 when the Soviet Union began producing military sidecar motorcycles based on the BMW R71 design. The Patrol model is part of Ural's modern lineup, designed as an adventure-oriented sidecar rig with all-wheel drive capability (2WD sidecar engagement), marketed globally as a rugged, retro-utilitarian machine. It remains notable as one of the very few sidecar motorcycles still in production worldwide, keeping alive a niche that most manufacturers abandoned decades ago.

$8,000-$14,000 usedLet's be straight with you — buying a used Ural Patrol is buying into a lifestyle, not a motorcycle. The 749cc boxer twin makes around 40 horsepower, and that's fine because you're not buying this for speed. You're buying it for the sidecar, the adventure aesthetic, and the ability to take your dog or kid along for the ride. The 2WD system that engages the sidecar wheel is genuinely clever and works well on loose surfaces. Pre-2014 models are mechanical nightmares — avoid them entirely. Stick to 2017 and newer where Ural finally sorted reliability enough to be usable. Expect to wrench on this thing. Valve adjustments every 6,000 miles, carb sync issues on older fuel-injected transitions, and finding a mechanic who knows them is genuinely difficult. Budget serious money for maintenance or learn to do it yourself. Parts availability has improved but shipping from importers still takes time. The community is passionate and incredibly helpful online — you'll need them.
