If you like to work on new motorcycles to keep them running, purchase a Royal Enfield. 
Your a funny guy. I love the classic style of Royal Enfields but I don't own one. I have enough to wrench on, just don't like driving a cage with trailer to get service either. I really like the electric motorcycle idea and really want to make one work for me, my style and riding area. Right now it is a research and weighing options mode. I also love the near silence when riding, my Goldwing is the closest I have gotten.
I have a Dnepr (similar to your Ural) with spiked tyres that I use in the winter season. I would really like to convert it to electric, but never had the time. That could make a good project?
Plenty of room for batteries, but man they do not roll that freely. Not gonna get far per charge.
I know the dnepr, Ural, Chang we all ride together up here in Northern New England we have some great camp outs.
