Can you tell me about the Aero 125?

Surprising the lack of mpg's on Ural...
I share you fascination, so much that I have vowed to sell my only motorcycle larger than 125cc's....

The thing you have to remember about Urals is that, for the most part, the engineering is still from the early 40's. The bike itself weighs ~750 lbs, so when you toss a rider on, your looking at 1000 lbs being lugged around by a 38 hp engine! Then you factor in the wind resistance from the sidecar, and viola! Low mpg, and low top speed.

But they do look pretty bad@$$, regardless.
