What kind of bikes were the Pink Angels riding?


Of course, the other biker gang were riding some excellent examples of some late 60's, early 70's choppers, but I am intrigued by the bikes of the Angels. They looked a bit beefier than the dirtbike sound they emitted in the movie would suggest, but maybe they were old 2 strokers. Either way, I want one! Any help would be appreciated.

Ural 650's. The Russians dusted off some BMW blueprints they found in Germany during WWII; and in 1970 they started to produce and export exact copies of the these old military BMW's with army sidecars. Even the headlight was tactical with a slit to cut down on the width of the beam of light at when riding at night.

Hey, I know it's been a while, but thanks for the answer. I've actually been looking at the new Urals with a sidecar down at my local Kawasaki dealership, thinking of buying one. Didn't even put two and two together when I saw it, just knew that I liked it!
