This year our European colleagues from Ural Motorcycles GmbH came up with the idea of the Red October to commemorate either the 25th anniversary of the novel "The Hunt for the Red October" or the 92nd anniversary of the Red October Revolution (whichever comes first). They have been bold and courageous in choosing a color scheme, not usually associated with a classic motorcycle and sidecar design.
