They look kind of neat, but reports are they are very unreliable and parts are difficult to get. The engines they use are antiquated poor designs, not simply a vintage design but was a bad design from the beginning.
Plus anything Russian has abhorrent tolerances, poorly machined parts and rarely is checked for QC. I'd much rather have an old Jap or German bike, than a brand new Ural.
