Ural Patrol 750 Review
"A rewarding machine for patient, mechanically-inclined adventure seekers only."
Used Buyer Review
Let'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.
