Soviet Izh Jupiter shows class on off-road

It's time for the author of the channel "MOTO KOR." to go on another journey on the old a motorcycleThis time he decided to restore “historical justice” and show how Soviet equipment was used in rural areas 40-60 years ago. Then cars there were few of them, it was rare to buy them. We had to buy motorcycles, fortunately, they were considered affordable. And without this equipment it is difficult in rural areas. Huge distances, public transport only went between populated areas. And you need to move around somehow to do your business. That's why almost every yard had motorcycles.

And so the Izh Jupiter sets off on its journey. Along with it, there are several other crews with the legends of the USSR. These are Urals, Dneprs, and even one Jawa. As it turned out, all the motorcycles cope well with off-road conditions. Only the Jupiter is a two-wheeler. All the other models have sidecars. This makes it possible to take with you not only a passenger, but also tents, fishing gear, and a week's supply of food. But off-road, light motorcycles are more valuable. Therefore, the old Izh Jupiter outperformed the "sidecars". And on the highway, it turned out to be faster. Only the technical part let it down. And what happened to the author of the video's motorcycle, you will see for yourself.
Which Soviet motorcycle do you think is the best off-road?
