The Ural is an example of the shortsightedness of companies who have missed the writing on the wall..like Colt. They failed to see that the SAA pistol could be brought back as a modern pistol and the Italians saw an opportunity to take this business for decades.
BMW is in the same position. They could be going simplistic retro and instead let the Russians do it. The Ural is some bike to be sure but no BMW. I have looked them over carefully in my driveway and it's as if a caveman made them. Well, not that bad but if you know and love BMW bikes they just don't come close enough to buy one.
