Ural


 Oural makes a nice adventure side-car, with engageable side-car drive shaft :
  this side exists in civil and military versions, not to mention the limited versions...

Here's the 750 "Sportsmant" aka "Patrol" :
Tourist

The military version : "Ranger" aka "Gear-Up" (in adventure path) :
Gear-Up


Pustinja
Pustinja (very) limited version. I've read the word means desert.
Special features : the canister moves to the opposite and is replaced with a metal case.
An emergency box appears at the rear.
Tyres are dual purpose, instead of "road" on the Patrol or "cross" on the Gear-Up.


Underneath, an English Pustinja version with the tub on the left :
only five will be on sale among the 35 worldwide Pustinja !

Comments : Reliability seems to be getting better. I think prices are a little high, perhaps because they are shipped twice : from Russia to Austria, then to other countries. I've given a try as a passenger, and found the side comfort surprisingly good. No doubt those rubber air bladders between side and chassis do some good job.

 Many accessories at affordable prices.
