The Ural motorcycle from the USSR is also economical

Soviet heavy motorcycles are the Ural and Dnepr. All of them had strollers and had a good “appetite.” It is believed that the bike consumes gasoline at the same level as a classic Zhiguli, 10-12 liters. In the Soviet Union they did not pay attention to this, especially in rural areas. Few people bought gasoline at gas stations there. But the drivers of GAZ and ZIL trucks always managed to get hold of fuel. Often it was given away for free. Now it’s hard to believe, but gasoline was poured into ditches, “drawing” extra mileage. Plus, in the sheds there were not only cans, but also large barrels of fuel.


The problems started in the late 80s. Owners of heavy motorcycles realized that they would have to pay for gasoline. And in the 90s it also became expensive, coupled with unemployment. So the “Urals” and “Dneprs” ended up in garages and sheds for fun. But in fact, these motorcycles are not so “gluttonous”. The main thing is to set them up correctly so that the cylinders work synchronously. And if you also install one carburetor, an imported one, the consumption in the city will be 6-7 liters even with dynamic movement. If you don’t believe in such parameters, watch the video of the “Harman 2.0” channel. The owner of the Ural motorcycle will clearly demonstrate how many kilometers the “iron horse” will travel on 0,5 liters of gasoline.
