Dnepr MT 10 (with sidecar)

Introducing the 1977 Dnepr MT 10, a charming piece of Soviet engineering that captures the essence of adventure touring with its unique sidecar design. This motorcycle stands as a testament to utilitarian design and rugged reliability, making it a beloved choice among enthusiasts who seek both nostalgia and practicality. With its robust build and classic styling, the MT 10 is not just a motorcycle; it’s a versatile vehicle that invites riders to explore the open road while comfortably accommodating a passenger or extra cargo in its sidecar. Under the hood, the Dnepr MT 10 is powered by a 650cc two-cylinder boxer engine, delivering a respectable 25 horsepower at 5200 RPM. This four-stroke powerhouse provides a surprisingly spirited ride, allowing the motorcycle to reach a top speed of 110 km/h (68.4 mph). The engine’s air-cooling system coupled with a compression ratio of 7.8:1 ensures reliability and efficiency during long rides. With a 4-speed gearbox that includes a reverse function, maneuvering the hefty 771.6-pound bike becomes a less daunting task, especially in tight spaces. The sidecar adds another layer of complexity and fun to the riding experience, providing stability and balance that enhances both handling and comfort. In terms of features, the Dnepr MT 10 is equipped with expanding brakes on both the front and rear, offering solid stopping power that complements its touring capabilities. The motorcycle's shaft drive system ensures smooth power delivery and low maintenance, making it ideal for long-distance journeys. With a fuel capacity of 21 liters (5.55 gallons), riders can enjoy extended rides without frequent stops for refueling. The combination of these features makes the MT 10 not only a practical choice for touring but also a unique collector’s item that appeals to vintage motorcycle enthusiasts. **
