2016 Ural Tourist Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Ural's classic motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Ural Tourist 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 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 53.4 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 Tourist measures 320 kg (705 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (8 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 271 km (168 miles) between fill-ups.

Within MotoLibrary's Ural archive, this model family spans 8 indexed model years from 1994 to 2016, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
