Boxer motorcycles are not only Soviet "Urals" and "Dneprs"

Boxer-engined motorcycles for most Russian men over 40 are Ural and Dnepr. Many people remember their father's and grandfather's "carriages" in the villages. These hard workers drove the whole family and worked around the house. Other motorcycles with boxer engines somehow do not immediately come to mind. But that doesn't mean they don't exist. Any experienced biker will tell you that such models are still being produced. For example, Ural motorcycles are still being assembled. And the most important opponent in the whole world is BMW, of course. It was from this German company that the Soviet Union copied its heavy bikes. And BMW continues to make such motorcycles, despite criticism that they are, they say, long outdated.


But besides German, Soviet and Russian, there are other boxer models. For example, the Japanese company Honda produces a large touring bike that has long become legendary. This is Gold Wing, aka Golda. There were enough boxer motorcycles in history. I liked the model with a longitudinal arrangement of cylinders more. An interesting solution, lovers of urban "lumbago" will definitely appreciate it. You can safely ride in the aisle without fear of being caught.
