with the speed wobble (or not speed) you just power through that and normally it goes away but i think with the ural 55-60 would be your max comfortable speed .
i loved my sidecars and would love one of the new urals unfortunatly in live in england where there is no where to ride off road and its way to crowded .cool factor is 10/10 for that one though

Happy Halloween. This is my friends Ural. Pretty cool guy and a hell of an illustrator.

Picked up a cheap high mileage ex Police Force bike via an auction. The K1300s has not been changed since it's release in 2009, so an older high mileage model made financial sense, saved myself a lot compared to a 2014 showroom model.
All my previous road bikes have been of a higher value and have been loved and cleaned more than they were used. Having a cheap bike where all the depreciation has been taken care of is the cure. I have been out on it every day for the last week and not felt guilty about not cleaning it!
The photos were taken yesterday from the top of "Clee Hill" in sunny Shropshire, not bad for November UK riding!

I was in Gosport this afternoon, and chatting to @Giles about the options. I reckoned that the SR500 would make more sense, as it has MOAR POWER. That's always a good thing in a bike, right?
I thought that the SR250 and SR500 would be about the same weight, but looking at the specs on Wikipedia they're listed as 130 kg and 158 kg respectively. It turns out that the SR500 is a bit bigger all over than the 250, and that'll make it more comfortable for a taller rider.
The extra weight won't be a problem to deal with. My BMW is about 220 to 230 kg, and the only time I notice is wheeling it out of the garage.
The SR250 has a claimed 21 bhp, versus 32 for the SR500. A learner legal 125 is about 15 bhp, and doesn't have a lot of go about it. Yes, you can get them up to 60 or 70 mph, but they'll run out of steam about then, and aren't a lot of fun on a dual carriageway as a consequence.
Still, I'm hoping Giles goes for the red goatskin seat!
