Engineered by Ural for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2006 Ural Retro pairs a 745 cc (45.5 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 40 HP (29.2 kW) at 5,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 52 Nm (38.4 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 53.7 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 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 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
