Engineered by Ural for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2012 Ural Retro 750 relies on a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) air-cooled two cylinder boxer, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 40 HP (29.2 kW) at 5,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 51.5 Nm (38 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 53.4 HP per liter and a 1,600 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 rpm) and peak power (5,600 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Retro 750 measures 325 kg (717 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.13 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 750 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 22-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 7.84 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 281 km (175 miles) between fill-ups.
