Some apparent errors on this page. I didn't want to change it without being sure that I have correctly identified them. Any other opinions?
the basic design of the Dnepr seems to be more like a Zundapp KS than a BMW - especially the engine with its one-piece crankshaft and shell big-end bearings. This invalidates the "similar to its German grandfather" remark, at least if "grandfather" means "BMW".
the Ural is not the civilian cousin of the Dnepr. It was intended for military use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ural_motorcycle and is more firmly based on a BMW design (pressed up crankshaft with ball/roller bearings).
