Actually, Ural is something to be admired - they look crude, but they sell surprisingly well. Since Russians took on this venture ,they departed from original German bikes significantly and they keep on doing partial and gradual improvements on them since. So it is quite separate line by now. http://www.imz-ural.com/ Ural is different motorcycle although originally based on war time issue BMW and posibly influenced by Zundapp. Russians had lots to do with German troops equipped with these bikes during WWII and it apparently worn on them.
