Here are some of the ideas and things I happen to care about. For each of those, I try'n find informations, links, pictures...
|
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" : The military version : "Ranger" aka "Gear-Up" (in adventure path) : |
|
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 ! |
Prices including VAT : 9450 ¤ (Patrol, +300 in two-colors), 9950 ¤ (Gear-Up) |

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.
