Simple rule of thumb:
>Is it Soviet-made?
If not, it's not /out/.
>Can it be fixed using screw driver, hammer and spanner 10/12?
If not, it's not /out/
>Can you fix it on your own?
If not, it's not /out/
>Can it carry a trailer if needed to?
If not, it's not /out/

And I'm 100% serious with those. An old-ass Ural bike is going to serve you better than anything else and even your mother will know how to fix it in case of emergency.

Had one of these where you could store water/fuel in the wheels. Different brand.

I thought the Urals were meme bikes and not very good at all.

I have a Brazilian made CG 125. The history of these bikes is kind of cool. Honda had a long term plan to make a sturdy cheap bike for the third world that would just keep on running. Low octane fuel = no problem, the tank is semi-flat so you can put a family member there etc. They are insanely popular. Millions have been made. If I was moving through any type of jungle, I'd rather be on one of these instead of a Ural.

This is impractical and silly. Get a Honda CG125.

Certainly not for trail racing for fun, like with dirt bikes. They are more for slower methodical trail breaking It is a workhorse for areas where normal ATVs can't/shouldn't go. Like you can take it right up through a narrow rocky stream if needed. Good for snow too.

Get some guards if you are taking it through dense scrub where sticks and limbs could get into the chain on the wheels. I'd get a used one.

>>1384725
>zero shock absorption

That limitedly comes from the tires. You also raise up off the seat and you go slow.

I'm not a third worlder and I rode like that until I was 4 years old.

I was interested in it for prospecting. There are a lot of places where I work, where a normal 4x4 or quad cant practically go. This would be great for moving my gear around through swamps and snow.

Urals are meme in terms of durability (they are as durable as anything else), BUT absolutely win in how easy it is to fix one, even if you have no fucking clue whatsoever about mechanics. And this is my biggest concern when it comes to /out/ stuff - how easy, cheap and intuitive the maintenance and repairs are.

Personally, I was planning to propose for getting to weird sites a motocross, but backed down from it - theose aren't really useful for transporting gear and I have no clue what kind of stuff you even need for prospecting (aside pan and mining hammer, that is).

Only they are not designed for gear and don't have two wheel drive. At least none that I can google. There's one that some guy converted to two wheel drive, but it can't haul anything. Also, they can't go everyplace these can go simply due to the tire width being different. That's just physics. A dirtbike is a completely different tool for a completely different job. The two shouldn't be compared.

If you need to haul gear through bad terrain then this type of thing is designed for it.

Dnepr otherwise known as Cossack is better
same as ural but even more reliable and easier to fix
biggest difference is crank bearings and lube system

Big flat expanses are always boring for most outdoor things that involve trekking, but they make for good farming and building sites since there's little excavation to do because of the lack of hills. Just stay out of the swampy areas.

>>1385026
If I recall correctly, the thing he has is intended for snow only. There's several designs and companies that made them in the 70s-80s. they are pretty cool. There's even versions that push you or a sled instead of pulling.

Nope.
It has two narrow tracks. It's for everything other than snow.
The snow ones have a wide track (think of a snowmobile track)
I think the one Lars has can take an add-on of a central track for snow, I think he talked about it on another video.

This. Fuck off, vatnik, go back to trolling /k/. Russian friends once tried to convince me to buy UAZ van. What fucking garbage those are... And the Ural bikes are trash, a poorly made copy of german BMW, part of the pre-war deal between Hitler and Stalin. And the ones made after 1990 are even worse than soviet made.

Speakimg of 2-wheelers. Oh the memmories...
This used to be my off-road vehicle when I was younger.
Always wanted a scooter with baloon tires as a kid. Didn't know much about scooters, turned out this little fucker was amazing.
Built like a tank, supprisingly good off-road. I used to do long out trips on it, went through streams, freshly plowed fields, ruined by tires, muddy roads so deep I was afraid air-intake will get flooded - all with little to no effort for his tiny 50cc engine.

Good choice for a young poorfag who wants to explore some, probably not in North America though, it's not good on long distances.

so is it worth me going after one of these? theres a 1990 model in the next town over from me thats basically brand new and only 1500$.

I need a rig that can go down trails too narrow for a quad or truck. It has to at least be able to carry a 2 inch honda pump and hose. It has to also carry my camp gear, either on it or with a trailer.

Is this the right bike for the job?

At least he didn't recommend using a horse. They tear up trials like no other form. though, people who go slow with any wheeled vehicle will tear up stuff less than general foot traffic. That even includes dirtbikes and mountain bikes. Horses on the other hand, to hell with them. Fat tires like the Rokon's have will perform better for not tearing up the trail since they won't want to spin as much as narrower tires. Still it really comes down to who is driving it.

The "myth" comes from the fact how simple and fucking durable Soviet-made vehicles HAD TO BE during the period between 50s till mid 70s, along with being used by people who often were taken from their mud hut somewhere in the middle of taiga. Fo the standards of the era, their shit was super-durable, ESPECIALLY when compared with American made "rugged terrain" vehicles, which were all universally shit (we are talking Chink-tier shit here). Stuff that random civilian Soviet car had to endure was considered world-wide as performance of a fucking military-grade truck, simply due to conditions of roads and weather out there.
But then technology marched on, production changed, materials evolved and in the same time Soviet economy started to collapse, so a lot of shit from late 70s and onward is just general purpose, while modern stuff lives entirely thanks to memes. Meanwhile rest of the world started to produce dedicated, actual rugged terrain gear that is durable (still not easy to fix, thou) reversing the general trend

tl;dr it was true once, now it's not
