“First Ural shipments to come to Australia since 1987″

IMZ Ural Australia has released an update about Ural motorcycles heading to Down Under:

We are pleased to inform all our interested friends and enquirers that the new 2008 Ural motorcycles and sidecars are now passed for registration in Australia. Since October we have had a Ural outfit in Sydney undergoing inspection for ADR certification so we could seek import approval for the registerable Urals to enter Australia. This process is now complete.

The factory in the heart of Russia is now assembling the first shipment in their crates for the start of their long land and sea journey to Sydney. We expect the first container load early in May and this will be followed soon after by a second shipment.

There will be a launch ceremony at Armidale northern New South Wales which is provisionally set for the afternoon of 24th May. We are expecting a crowd with representation from media, Russian Motorcycle Owners Club, Sidecar club members, interested and already committed customers as well as the new Ural Dealers from Sydney, Melbourne, Newcastle and Armidale. There will be a range of models on show including the 2WD model for off-road use, Tourist and camouflage-coloured Gear-Up model. We cannot facilitate test rides on the day, but arrangements can be made with Ural of Oz or dealers for alternative opportunities.

There is a lot of excitement generated by the first Ural shipments to come to Australia since 1987. The quality of the new outfits whilst maintaining their classic style has aroused the interest of many bike riders, many who have waited a long time for the opportunity to purchase a fully registerable left-side outfit that has current specifications.

We will post our dealer names and the recommended retail prices on the website by the first week in April. Keep watching and contact us if you want an invitation to attend the launch or more information regarding it.
