Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have experience with heavy, mechanically old-fashioned motorcycles, since the low power and unusual handling traits reward patience over throttle confidence.
Purpose	This is a slow, characterful classic built for leisurely cruising and novelty appeal rather than performance riding.
Rider Fit	The 344 kg dry weight and low seat height make it manageable at a standstill, but its heft demands deliberate, strong inputs at low speed and during maneuvering.
Character	It has old-world charm with a boxer engine's distinctive thump, shaft-driven simplicity, and a vintage sidecar-rig personality even when ridden solo.
Not Ideal For	This is not for riders seeking speed, sharp cornering, or a light and nimble machine for aggressive road riding.

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 750mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Ural Retro, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
