Ural Motorcycle at Josefuv Dul Car Show, Liberecky kraj, Bohemia(CZ), 2015

IMZ-Ural were a Soviet manufacturer of military motorcycles based originally in Irbit, Russia, but now in Petropavl, Kazakhstan for assembly, and Redmond, Washington State, USA for administration. IMZ-Ural are entirely unrelated (beyond their Communist origins) to UralAZ, who build trucks in Miass, Russia.

Wikipedia claims that Ural are the oldest manufacturer of motorcycles equipped with sidecars from the factory, but I can't confirm this. I don't know a lot about the history of Ural motorcycles, or motorcycles more generally. However, the military livery of this one may be authentic, given that originally these motorcycles were intended for the Red Army in World War II. This looks like an M-72 model, although I may be missing key spotting features.
