Limited Edition 2009 Ural Wjuga

2008 had the limited edition Arctic Gear-Up — and, according to Total Motorcycle News, 2009 has the, um, 2009 Ural Wjuga:
“Without doubt this Ural is not beautiful. Disheveled, sloppy, grey-greyish colored. A doubtful appearance. But exactly the right answer for uncomfortable circumstances in the life of a motorcycle driver like coldness, snow, winter, wind.”
Production is limited — and to add insult to injury, you’ll have to go to Europe, as Wjugas won’t be available in North America. It reminds me a little of the Arctic Gear-Up, though the camo fairing is a nice touch.
The piece explains that “wjuga” is a Russian word for “northeast storms in the steppe of south Russia”. That’s all well and good, but my money still says “wjuga” is the sound the horn makes.
