Frame, sheet metal, wheels, handlebars, tractor seats, exhaust, 750cc engine, 4-speed transmission, the list goes on and on. The story of Ural&Dnepr begins late in 1939. A secret meeting was held in the Defence Ministry of the USSR. The matter under discussion, what model of motorcycles was going to be the most suitable for Soviet Armed Forces. Now despite the fact that planed was peacefully split between two dictators right after the Molotov/von Ribbentrop pact, the Soviet Union, to be more specific Joseph Stalin, know it would soon be going to war with Adolph Hitler, the ruthless dictator of the German Third Reich. Most recent historic research proves that Joseph Stalin being as much a ruthless dictator as Adolph Hitler himself, if not more, was planning on striking the Nazis first, Joseph Stalin ordered the military to prepare all areas of operation, including ground forces. During the same time period there was also, unknown to the majority of the world, tremendous growth in the Soviet Air Force that would enable the Soviet Army to strike the Nazis first with a devastating surprise attack. Having seen the effects of Blitzkrieg (lighting war) against Poland, upgrading of military vehicles was of dominant importance to Joseph Stalin. Official version reads, after long discussion the BMW R71 motorcycle was found the closest match to the specific requirements and five of these motorcycles were secretly acquired in Sweden. Everything about the bike was reverse engineering and in early 1941 the first trial samples of M-72 motorcycles were shown to Marshall Stalin and the decision was made to produce them. Unofficially, and a more likely story is that the BMW factory supplied the construction drawings and casting molds. Transfers in technology had taken place, as a result of the Molotov/Ribbentrop Pact, in support of their soviet friends in different areas. Soviet engineers toured the German aircraft factories and had brought back complete cannons as samples. The OPEL Kadett was given to the Soviets just prior to the war however, it commenced series production only toward the end of the war as the Moskvitch 400. In 1941, BMW began series production the R75, and did not resume production of the R71. After the WWII the Factory was further developed and in 1950 the 30,000th motorcycle was produced. Since then over 3.2 million motorcycles, mainly sidecar outfits have been produced. The history of the URAL had begun with the glory of helping to defeat the terror of Hitler's armies on the Russian and European battlefields. The URAL was built for the military only, up until the late 1950's when another plant in the Ukraine (Kiev Motorcycle Zavod - KMZ) took over that job with same model, but different name - DNEPR and the Irbit Motorcycle Zavod (IMZ) began to concentrate on making bikes for domestic consumption. Today both plants manufacture bikes for domestic as well as for military needs. -You are looking excellent Motorcycle DNEPR (stock#1) of 1969y.
