After Word War Two, the engineers at Ural dreamed of tearing off the sidecars and building high performance solo motorcycles. But, Soviet police were afraid of the proletariat evading them on vehicles faster than their own sidecars and banned the production of two-wheelers. Finally, 60 years later, the Ural ST realizes that dream.
The name "ST" stands for Solo T, with the Ural T being the company's new no-frills, one-wheel drive sidecar. Like that bike, the ST makes use of traditional Ural values -- flat-twin engine with roller bearings, low center-of-gravity, shaft drive and solid frame -- but reworks the rest to better suit the specific needs of a two-wheeler.
