Ural M-62 (1963) what do you think? to buy it or not?

[Christian Arapu]

owner tells to me that it motorcycle is in a great condition, engine works well and he gives to me many boxes with spare parts + one more full complete and working engine.

Depends on the $price$, doesn't it.

And where you live.
Looks slow, no motorway flier....
Looks neglected too. ?
That should keep the $$ down.

I'm living in Republic Of Moldova and owner too. he sell it for 300 euro, with all documents and new immatricular number, i want it, i need it, but my father tells to me that better if i'll buy a big (cc) scooter,
I'm $%^&&'n  dont understand! i'm already restored many classic russian motorcycles and mopeds, but now, when i want to buy M62, my father want not to hear about it bike, he hate it!! and i dont know what to do, to obey father's opinion, to buy a big cc chinese scooter or to send father's opinion to hell and buy a M-62?

I would buy it if you really want it. I regret listening to my father and missing lots of opportunities. Maybe work on the price to get it down, needs a couple of wheels and a restore.

[wink]

I agree with Murdo , if you have 300 (250) euros spare buy it, youŽll always get it back, with papers too.  My father made me sell vehicles which someone else made a lot of money on because I did not know that he did not know either.

Buy it and make your own way.... and mistakes, nothing like the "School of hard knocks" for learning!

Buy the scooter. You can always flip it for twice the price.

One just sold via the Moto Guzzi Club GB for Ł3,000.  It was in a lot better condition and a lot newer.

I have some pictures of these motorcycles that I'm restored, but I don't know where is those, i should search it in my old computer

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.
