Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have experience with heavy, mechanically old-school motorcycles and sidecar-style handling quirks.
PurposeBuilt for slow, deliberate cruising and novelty riding rather than performance, with its sidecar-derived chassis and shaft drive emphasizing durability over speed.
Rider FitThe tall seat height combined with a hefty 320 kg dry weight demands solid strength and confidence at low speeds and when maneuvering or parking.
CharacterA charmingly rugged, retro-mechanical machine that rewards patience and appreciation for vintage engineering quirks over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking quick acceleration, nimble cornering, or a modern, refined ride experience.

2012 Ural Tourist 750 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 813mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Ural Tourist 750, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
