Dave,

Ya know...this is a Savage forum.  Who is gonna think about another bike in here?  And you sold your Savage before getting a new bike?  Shame on you....

Just kidding.  I gotta say, I like your choice.  I've seen these before but they were much older models.  It's a "BMWish" looking engine in a cruiser bike frame...1) I think the boxer style engine is great, and 2) I like the idea of different....and this definitely qualifies  

I hope the fit and finish of the bike is good...I'd heard that older models could be a bit shabby by modern motorcycle standards of quality, but on the other hand, these bikes have been around for a very long time.  They may have really improved over the years too....like the Enfield Bullet.

Get one.  It may put you in the Savage Hall of Shame, but you'll still be quite Savage.  Post pics, too.

On the Ural site, the only bike with telescopic forks in the Wolf.  The hacks have a shock "type" suspension on the front....as you said, for a side car.

And you got to ride in a side car?  Now, I bet that is a rush.  Me, I've always wondered if the driver might forget how close the side car was to things like parked cars, trees, curbs, and people....gotta trust the driver  

thoes forks on a hacked rigs are "Earles" type forks, had 'em on my new 1957 BMW R50 solo bike. at very slow speeds, they make for heavy steering. not too desireable charecteristic for a 2 wheeler.

ya Greg, turned 73 in May. first ride 1947 Wizzer, first real motorcycle, new 1948 CZ 125. present rides, '03 Savage,solo, '03 GL 1800 candy red CSC trike, 2 up touring rig. can hold up 350 lb. savage with out passenger, but 800 lb. wing is just too much anymore, SO, TRIKE IT YOU'LL LIKE IT. my secong trike, 30k on 1500, 10k on '03.

The Ural Wolf is a fine looking Bike ... and unconventional like the Savage ... betcha it wouldn't be ignored at the local watering hole!
Read that the design was a joint venture between the Factory and a Russian Biker club called the Night Wolves

Stay away from the Urals and the chinese pieces of junk.  I don't know the new Urals, but I have some opinion about the old ones and it is- no good for US. Not designed to last at higher speeds. Low Quality manufacturing.
