40 hp? Where did the extra 13 hp come from? Or is it just that is mine takes so long to get anywhere because of the UDF*

The stated spec from Ural in all their literature now is 40hp.
I'm neither older nor easier & I'd love to have a new Ural rig.

If the $, space and time were available, I'd have a brand new Gear Up.
Around here it could get some use that I wouldn't make my K100 endure.
from the article...
'As peopleÔÇÖs strength and coordination wane, he said, ÔÇ£you see them transitioning to the sidecar.ÔÇØ
Let them keep thinking that. Let's not tell them how much fun it is!
Considering a Harley Trike starts at $30K+...
Hacks seem a bit more reasonable and have a cool retro feel to them.
'Specially in this economy.
I think HD may regret pulling the hack line too soon.
...comparing side cars to trikes?

+1, sidecar anyday...
My only experience with trikes were the three wheeled ATVs of the 70s. Dangerously unstable machines. Modern, well installed, street going machine...no idea.
I love my sidecar!!!
Those earlier honda ATC's were rolling tripods.
Trikes today are a great deal longer so the tip line in harder to get to.
I think A trike would be fun. Not hack fun... But fun nonetheless.
'cause they are now 750cc not the older 650's...
