Ural Solo s T
2013
2013
The 2013 Ural Solo sT represents a unique offering in the motorcycle landscape, a single-track variant of Ural's well-known sidecar rigs. Eschewing the third wheel for a more conventional two-wheeled experience, the sT builds upon Ural's heritage of rugged, utilitarian machines. While not directly competing with high-performance roadsters, its closest rivals in terms of classic styling and a more relaxed riding experience might include models like the Royal Enfield Bullet 500 or even certain retro-styled Triumph Bonnevilles, albeit with a distinct Russian character.
Powering the Solo sT is a 745.0 ccm (45.46 cubic inches) engine, producing a modest 40.0 HP (29.2 kW) at 5600 RPM. Torque figures register at 52.0 Nm (5.3 kgf-m or 38.4 ft.lbs) at a lower 4000 RPM, suggesting a focus on tractable power delivery rather than outright speed. The top speed is rated at 130.0 km/h (80.8 mph), which is adequate for most road conditions. With a dry weight of 215.0 kg (474.0 pounds), the Solo sT is a substantial machine, contributing to its stable road presence. Fuel capacity stands at a generous 19.00 litres (5.02 US gallons), offering a decent range between fill-ups.
Riding characteristics of the Solo sT lean towards a comfortable, upright stance, typical of a classic standard motorcycle. The seat height is set at 770 mm (30.3 inches), which is accessible for a wide range of riders. The suspension is designed to absorb imperfections, providing a smooth ride. While it lacks the agility of a lightweight sportbike, its robust chassis and planted feel inspire confidence, particularly on less-than-perfect roads. The wide handlebars and neutral ergonomics contribute to a relaxed riding posture, suitable for extended journeys.
The 2013 Ural Solo sT appeals to a specific demographic: riders who appreciate traditional styling, robust construction, and a straightforward riding experience. It's not for those seeking blistering acceleration or razor-sharp handling, but rather for individuals who value reliability, a distinctive aesthetic, and a motorcycle that can handle various conditions with stoic resolve. The Solo sT is a machine that rewards a more deliberate approach to motorcycling, offering a unique connection to the road and a nod to a bygone era of two-wheeled travel.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Unique vintage styling and robust build quality attracts attention, setting it apart from modern motorcycles. • Shaft drive provides reliable, low-maintenance power delivery, ideal for long-term ownership and touring. • Simple, air-cooled boxer engine design makes basic maintenance and roadside repairs relatively straightforward for the home mechanic. • Exceptional low-end torque from the 745cc engine makes it surprisingly capable for relaxed cruising and light off-road use. • Comfortable, upright riding position with wide handlebars offers good ergonomics for longer rides and diverse riders.⚠️ Things to consider
• Limited top speed and acceleration compared to other 750cc motorcycles, making highway passing more challenging. • Vibration levels can be noticeable at higher RPMs, potentially fatiguing on extended highway journeys. • Outdated braking technology (drum rear, single disc front) requires longer stopping distances than modern bikes. • Fuel economy is modest for its engine size, especially when compared to more efficient contemporary motorcycles. • Dealer network and parts availability might be sparse in some regions, potentially complicating service and repairs.The Ural Solo s T produces 40 HP, fitting A2 license limits (max 35 kW / 47 HP). For riders 18+.
