"rightly exploited and repaired" ...................... do you mean rebuilt using better parts than where fitted by the works ?
Ok, at this time, it's very complicate to find original parts and! in good condition for ancient Urals like k650 or M62, many of Ural's parts which are for sell are in bad condition, and it is a problem, restoring of that parts is very difficult and annoying, and no one can guarantee, that restoring of old parts would be successful, but if you do it very carefully and with "master's accuracy" every restoration would be successful

I think maybe the problem is they where a copy of the BMW (but a very poor one) many resons for this , tooling , materials , bearings etc ,  they maybe better now but over here new the asking price is almost £12,000 (at expo last year) , so will never sell when the BMW outfit maybe about the same but has a good reputation and resale value , I read they got the tooling better in 1998 but need to change the name I think . innovation/quality  is not a term associated with the Ural brand
innovation.. no, but quality, oh! ok, i'm repeat again, only rightly exploited and repaired ural can be useful, strong and durable..

"if their hands grows from ass " ....................... brilliant , I have not laughed so much since watching Borrat ............ its a niccccccccce
It is most popular phrase of russian auto - moto enthusiasts who want to explain someone that he makes or built a rubbish ;D and it is sounds like that: u tebea ruki iz jopi rastut

is this the old cossak works machine ?
Yes certainly! it was built in 1963! it isn't a museum showpiece, if someone, !who knows! how to reanimate that machine, has tried to repair it, it would be successful

Commonly known as Urinals in the North of England....
If "clever" englishmen have no idea how to repair it, or to make it work like a Switzerland clock, well, it is their problem, if their hands grows from ass it is not a reason to call strong Russian motorcycles - "Urinal" >:(

they have a poor reputation in the UK , are these the ones built in the old cossak works ? a freind had one with a side car wheel drive , it did not last long but was more to do with him im sure , i have seen them fitted with BMW engines
It is because these machines are very capricious if you don't understand their construction when you trying to repair it, that machine need more attention. Many enthusiasts from USA, UK or Australia, when they can't find the manuals for, to example Ural M-72, they use manuals for BMW R71, because, how they think, construction of both machines is similar, and they use spare parts from BMW and install it on Ural, BUT NOT! that motorcycles is more different as you thought,, I personally restored a similar machine some years ago, it's true, restoring of that Ural was very difficult, how i wrote some rows before, these machines are very capricious, but knowledge about it comes only with practice, it is something like art, to understand that machine,  now, this Ural working like twice. ;)

they take a bit of getting used to when riding, they are not for the faint hearted . 60 mph would be flying on one and when cornering 40 mph is fast lol. you need to wrestle them a bit. great for occasional fun but for daily transport i wouldnt think of it.
YOU SIMPLY DON'T KNOW! IN MY COUNTRY OLD MEN TRANSPORT ON THIS, HOW YOU WROTE "DAILY TRANSPORT", 300 OR 400 KG OF CORN OR POTATOES!
that machines are very strong, powerful, resistant and indestructible!
