jetro 5,349 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 As title says, does anyone have one of these bikes, of either model. I wanting one for a few years now, might get one when things lighten up, with this pandemic and restrictions. Would be nice to get a bit of feed back from owners.

samuria 331 Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) if you go for one get the older version , the 2 wheel drive ones will go anywhere. it's like every thing with a engine!!! look after it and fix it right then it;s there to enjoy. there is so much you can do to them to improve the running etc. early ones are 6 volt so that's the first change to 12 volt. etc there is a good forum for them as well. i will try and find it.......

I've been looking for a second hand one but they don't come up very often as people like to hang on to them. They've been on the market since the late 70's early 80's I believe and even the used ones fetch a premium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was planning on picking up a ural/deinper as a rebuild project, but swapping out the engine for a more reliable bmw one. Well that was the plan Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a conversion for them, though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had a CZ175 myself and what a parcel that thing was. Lol. But had some crack on it, mates had CG 125s and CD 175s and it was always a racing match round the back roads. Got myself a GT 380 triple after that soon put the laughing outta them. Lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
