No, the collection was published in 2014 new colors, but this is not the most important thing. New motorcycles became lighter, increased maximum gain speed, total control. We were able to significantly reduce fuel consumption, improved reaction machines on the throttle and brakes. this "Ural" retain their recognizable features, validity and reliability of the design, the availability of a wide range of users. But at the same time they are much closer to what is now called modern motorcycle. After all, according to polls, classic motorcycles with sidecars are still in demand .
