At one time, the brainchild of the Irbit plant was in great demand. Great helper V agriculture and serving as an excellent alternative to a car, the Ural had the ability to move around any road surface. IN this moment The plant stopped producing motorcycles. This happened due to a banal economic recession. In recent decades, the assembly of the Ural motorcycle engine has become an analogue of the German BMW-R71, as well as the stubborn competitor of the Dnepr.
Ural motorcycle engine, specifications which may well compete with new generation motorcycles, is subject to heavy wear. Therefore, owners often have to go through all the parts themselves and replace them.
The Soviet bike is considered a heavy motorcycle intended for rural work and transportation of goods. At the same time, it has relatively small but sufficient indicators. Motorcycle engine Ural on the Solo model, gives 40 Horse power . And with boost you can achieve 55 hp. Maximum speed the bike is 110 km/h. For such power, this is a rather modest figure, because the speed is greatly influenced by the mass of the motorcycle. However, the acceleration is quick and the bike's dynamics are very pleasant for the rider.
The engine capacity of the Ural motorcycle is 745 cm3, which makes it one of the largest in Russian production. Wherein torque reaches about 4000 rpm. Such engines are typical for engines with gearboxes, rather than for boxer engines.
Peculiarities
Some models have hydraulic brakes. It is located at the rear of the wheel on the hub and provides confident braking even at high speed. The style of the bike is adjusted to war time, the mirrors and fuel tank are especially different in this regard.
The engine of the Ural, a motorcycle whose characteristics do not differ only in power, has a number of advantages. Good maneuverability Due to the force commensurate with the mass, it allows you to easily move on loose or even wet soil. Therefore, movement in forested areas will not be difficult. Moreover, the Irbit plant provided excellent resistance to climatic conditions. The engine starts even at -30 degrees. However, in hot weather long work Overheating may occur. In such cases, motorcyclists set forced cooling motorcycle engine.
Repair and maintenance
Having heard another knock in the engine, the owners Russian motorcycle They understand that the evening will be spent in the company of an iron friend. So it is with the Urals, frequent malfunctions is one of the features of the bike.
Here are the main engine problems and their causes:
- The engine won't start. This happens in cases where:
- fuel does not flow into the carburetor (fuel supply system is clogged);
- no spark from the spark plug (breakage, carbon deposits or other reasons);
- compression failure (lack of clearance in the valves, leaky fit or malfunction of the rings).
- uneven supply of fuel;
- water ingress;
- blockage in the fuel mixing system;
- problems with candles;
- violation of wiring integrity;
- capacitor failure;
- excessive amount of gasoline entering the air-fuel mixture.
- early spark supply;
- severe overheating of the motor;
- problems with pistons and rings (grinding, chipping, poor seal, etc.).
At the first sign of a breakdown, it is worth repairing the engine. Otherwise, you can worsen the situation and the cost of repair.
To avoid malfunctions, you must follow the operating rules and Maintenance motorcycle. It is even important how much oil to pour into the engine of a Ural motorcycle. Excess will interfere with work, and deficiency will contribute to wear of parts. It is also necessary replace filters regularly, gaskets and other consumables.
In general, IMZ produced great bike suitable for people of any age category. It is designed for both work and leisure. If you have a desire to buy yourself a motorcycle, Ural will become excellent option on a low budget.
In this article we will tell you how a novice motorcyclist can avoid making mistakes when choosing his first bike and which models are best to pay attention to. In a word, this review was compiled for the prudent category of beginners who have either graduated or are about to go to a motorcycle school.
We will tell you briefly about each model. Firstly, because we understand that not everyone is interested in looking at a large reference from Wikipedia. And secondly, we think highly of you and know that you know how to use Google. For convenience, we will distribute motorcycles according to the engine power scale.
1) 15 horsepower
LIFAN KP 150 in updated version 2015. Maximum speed - 120 km/h. Weight - 138 kg. Height - 790 mm at the saddle. In showrooms it costs only $1,400. And at the moment this is the best motorcycle that you can buy for the money. Him liquid cooling, 6-speed gearbox and thimble-sized fuel consumption (2.5 liters per 100 km) per 13-liter gas tank. In addition, it rides much more fun than the YBR 125. And correctly carried out running-in, timely maintenance and compliance with operating rules turn it into an immortal pony. Such motorcycles are constantly used in motorcycle schools and have the reputation of not being killed.
2) 20 horsepower
Remember the Kawasaki Eliminator 125? Very successful model. Maximum speed - 130 km/h. Weight - 154 kg. Tank volume - 14 liters. Consumption - 3 liters per 100 km. It was manufactured inside and out at the Bajaj plant in India. It was discontinued in 2010. But the Indians came to an agreement with the Japanese, gave the engine 100 cc, a radiator, and continued to produce it under the name Bajaj Avenger 220. The 2017 model can be purchased at the showroom for only $2,300. You simply won’t find a better small-capacity cruiser for the money.
3) 24 horsepower
Bajaj NS200. Maximum speed - 155 km/h. Weight - 123 kg. Height - 805 mm at the saddle. Tank volume - 12 liters. Consumption - 3 liters per 100 km. Another Indian, but with Austrian roots. It is manufactured at the Pune plant. Moreover, on the same assembly line as the KTM Duke 200. The first engine differs only in the head, crankcase covers and attachments. Moreover, due to the crisis, the 2017 model costs only $2,600 in showrooms. In our opinion, this is the best small-capacity motorcycle for the city in terms of price and quality ratio. And with all the love for KTM, the price for their 200 is boorishly high.
4) 33 horsepower
Kawasaki Ninja 250 R. Maximum speed - 160 km/h. Weight - 170 kg. Acceleration in 6 seconds to 100 km/h. Tank volume - 18 liters. Consumption - 4 liters per 100 km. Suitable for those who need an inexpensive, but girl-attracting motorcycle. If in the past two minutes your eye has been twitching at the mention of Indian-Chinese bikes, then we will upset you. Nowadays these small ninjas are also made at the Bajaj plant. In 2013 there was a major restyling of the model. In particular, it received fuel injection. There is also a 300 cc version with ABS, but it costs quite a bit more money. It is not advisable to drop these motorcycles. You will be very surprised when you find out how much the original plastic costs.
5) 33-45 horsepower
If you don't like the Bajaj Avenger 220, then we recommend Honda Shadow 400 are not older than 2004. Maximum speed - 145 km/h. Tank volume - 14 liters. Consumption - 5 liters per 100 km. Height - 675 mm at the saddle. For beginners, the 400 in the “classic” version will be optimal, but you can also take a closer look at the 750 in the “AERO” version. They differ from all other cruisers in their very easy handling. Despite dry weights of 225 kg and 240 kg respectively, they have a very low center of gravity and seat height. So this bike is quite easy to handle. In addition, such motorcycles are often not raced, but treated like an iPhone bought with the last money. So even 15-year-old specimens are found in very good condition.
6) 40 horsepower
seconds to hundreds. Tank volume - 10 liters. Height - 890 mm at the saddle. This motorcycle is perfect for riders with poor vision. Because it is also able to ignore potholes thanks to the huge suspension travel and durable spoked wheels. Like its enduro brother, it is not afraid of light falls. But unlike off-road versions it handles better on pavement, has excellent brakes and is 45mm lower in the seat. Once you buy it, you will never want to sell it. The only minus of the model is the price. A more or less live copy from 2005 will cost no less than $4,000. And new bikes will cost as much as $6,500.
7) 63-67 horsepower
Suzuki V-Strom 650. We recommend taking no older than 2004. Maximum speed - 185 km/h. Weight - 214-220 kg. Acceleration in 4.2 seconds to hundreds. Tank volume - 20-22 liters. Consumption is five and a half liters per hundred. Height - 835 mm at the saddle. This bike is ideal for large, long-legged riders. It can be described in two words - versatility and reliability. And it’s convenient to travel around the city and long journeys comfortable and you can go to the forest for a barbecue party. A kind of Captain America in a two-wheeled version, adjusted for nationality. Prices for fresh used ones start from $4,500 and end around $7,000.
8) 70 horsepower
Kawasaki ER-6 N. We recommend taking 2008-2014. Maximum speed - 200 km/h. Weight - 196-211 kg. Acceleration in 3.8 seconds to hundreds. Tank volume - 16 liters. Consumption is five and a half liters per hundred. Height - 785 mm at the saddle. Cost from 4000 to 6000 dollars. Nothing special, just one of the best motorcycles for the city. Lightweight and dynamic and relatively inexpensive to operate. The only negative is noticeable vibrations.
9) 77 horsepower
Yamaha XJ6N. We recommend taking the 2009. Maximum speed - 215 km/h. Weight - 211 kg. Acceleration in 3.9 seconds to hundreds. Tank volume - 17 liters. Consumption is six liters per hundred. Height - 785 mm at the saddle. Cost from 5000 to 6500 dollars. Let's just say - this is a "phaser" for poor people. Simple frame, cheap suspension and brakes, but after a serious ride you really want to buy it. The bike is as comfortable as your favorite chair. Soft and smooth, yet dynamic. When you change to another bike, it feels like a stool that shakes like a jackhammer.
10) 102 horsepower
We are often asked to recommend some sports bike for a 600cc beginner, otherwise “the boys won’t understand.” Here's our answer - Honda CBR600F. We recommend taking the 2011. Maximum speed - 220 km/h. Weight - 210 kg. Acceleration in 3.5 seconds to hundreds. Tank volume - 18 liters. Consumption is six and a half liters per hundred. Height - 800 mm at the saddle. Cost from 5000 to 7000 dollars. This is the sportiest and fastest motorcycle that our conscience can recommend to a beginner.
P.S. In general, the best bike is the Soviet IZH. You will learn how to start a motorcycle, even when it is not running at all. Enjoy overnight stays in the fields under open air when your motor seizes. You will develop your leg and back muscles by pushing him home once again. Learn the mystery of overhauling your knee using wire, pliers and a screwdriver, and also make a lot of unusual friends. You will love him and he will love you. And these are wonderful moments.
Most frequently asked question in the world of motorcycles: What should a beginner choose?
The most common question from those who just want to buy a motorcycle (we are talking about a road bike or a sports bike). How many cubes should I take? After all, in theory, the more cubes, the more dangerous the errors. On the other hand, when you don’t know what 400 and 600 are, you think, what if 400 is not enough? Due to the lack of understanding in comparison, a lot of theories and opinions appear. What's in practice?
400 VS 600
I've touched on this topic several times already. on your channel, and in this article I will examine this issue in even more detail.
I'll start with the most interesting. 600 cubes - this is already a very serious apparatus.
1 - 2.8 seconds to one hundred, in fact it seems like 1 second. It shoots up to 200 in such a way that you ask the question: “can anything in the world accelerate faster?” Everything would be fine if everyone was born with the abilities of Valentino Rossi.
2 - Such motorcycles have very sharp brakes and traction that can break rear wheel from speed gain. Example:
3 - And, in addition, add the ability to easily respond to the variability of the condition of the road surface and the tendency to get into trouble because of this front wheel. Example:
And if a person without experience sits on it, he can do something that cannot be done, and 600 cub sport Not only will he allow you to do this, but he will also insist and provoke you. Therefore, for those for whom the technique of controlling a motorcycle (namely the technique of control, and not the knowledge of what to press where and when) is a dark forest, read all of the above again.
400 cubes — golden mean for a beginner.
1- No, it’s not little. Any four hundred can easily compete in terms of acceleration even with charged cars.
2 - she is obedient and sometimes will not allow you to make a thoughtless mistake, but it seems harsh open gas in a turn or pinched front brake, but again SOMETIMES. A head on your shoulders is required, because... The 400 cc motorcycle is capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h. At this speed, you feel like the wind is trying to tear your hands off the steering wheel and twist your neck back. I often come across the opinion that 400 will quickly get boring. I saw how the 400 cc HONDA VFR combed many liters at competitions. For me personally, the main indicator is whether YOU can unlock the potential of even 400. I repeat once again - 400 is not small.
The most uninteresting and controversial comparison:
600 vs 1000 My vision.
1 - In Drag competitions, a 1/4 mile 600 can actually be done by 1000. This is the case when the power is enough up to and beyond, when the rider's abilities come to the fore.
2 - The difference between 1000 and 600 is that at 1 liter you don’t need to shift down in order to pull, but at 600, although it’s so difficult and you don’t want to, you have to press the shift paw with your foot a couple of times.
3 - I know maybe 1-2 people who can unlock the potential of 600. And even having brushed the YZF-R1 at the last competitions and taking 1st place among motorcycles on road tires, I believe that I can’t even reach 80% of the potential of my motorcycle yet reveal due to a million factors, the main one of which is driving technique, I mean driving really fast.
4 - 1000 is worth taking for straight shots, when you want the same acceleration from 200 to 300 as from 0 to 100. Guys who like to hit 200 on the back take liters. Personally, I don’t need this and now we can move on to the most important thing in the choice - the question: Why are you buying a motorcycle?
Most base their choice on the coolness of the motorcycle, on the power rating, on the design, on whether chicks will be watching, but no one knows where and how it will ride. All these indicators can be found in 400 and 600 and 1000, only if you are not greedy, looking with shifting eyes at the power indicators, with the words: “MOARRR, I need MOAAAAR” *. If only it didn’t turn out like this in front of the girls -
What to do if the choice 125, 250, 400. It’s simple here - you just want new motorcycle? - either YBR-125 or Ninja 250R, whichever you have enough money for. And if you don’t mind buying a used one. - take 400. The money is approximately comparable.
Then what should a beginner take after all that has been said above? If you still want 600, take it. If you want 1000, take it. If you want a bead, for God's sake. Just don’t roll the cotton wool, just take it and go.
Everything described above is based on my experience, on what I saw and is my personal opinion, which does not claim any canons.

*Moar is a slang word for more with a hint of frenzy.
Since the creation of the first motorcycle, " iron Horse"became a symbol of male freedom, the spirit of adventurism, and adventure.
