Should I buy this Harley?

[Grampa]

my only real concern is.... I want a Ural.

if I buy this....and I doooooo want it badly, my want for a Ural is greater.


After having done a few track days, my plan had been to sell the 1098...get a Ural and a dedicated track only bike. With the Ural....The wife and even the kids can go for a ride with me....with this, it's just me

I want to help my friend out, but I'm leaning towards not getting it

if I were in your shoes and had to choose between a Ural and the HD...I'd have to choose the the Ural...but that is me personally...

[ducpainter]

With all his money...

I'd get them all.   

Either way he'll have a cool bike. I'd pick the Ural too bp.

I've ridden those things. Years ago when they were new. It is completely beyond me why anyone would want one. I can fill you in on all the details but all I can imagine is that there is some attraction for total funk. ? ? ?  Want a funky single?  Try to find an old BSA Victor or the street version, Shooting Star I think they named it. Far and away better than the Aermacchi (sp?). Or a Gold Star or Norton Manx and then really have a piece of history. Hey, why not an old Ducati single? You'd still be miles ahead. Send me two grand and I'll send you enough pieces to build a 620 even.

Buy it!

I want a Ural too. Sell the Jeep, the M400, the MadAss, and 90% of my worldly belongings and just travel. I could pack my bags and travel (albeit slowly)

I say pass.  Those are for museums now, not the road.  A Ural would be much more useful.  My bro-in-law had a sprint 350 new, and it was the worse bike he ever owned, and he has owned a lot of bikes.

I dunno about the unreliable thing.....mine ran all season this year without a mechanical hickup.  I raced my 250 this past season in SMRI's Historic Vintage UltraLightweight class and had an absolute blast!!  $2200 might be a bit high, so try to negotiate it down a bit if you can.

it looks uncomfortable and underpowered.  it wouldn't be a good commuter bike or a trip bike, so it's uses are very limited.  i say don't buy it.
