Here’s a classic OSSA Pioneer with all kinds of new parts: the grips, seat cover, air filter, fork seals, front fender, and even the paint. The frame has been powder coated and it comes with the factory tool kit – the seller goes as far as to say that the bike is “museum quality”. In that case, here’s your chance …
1970 Montesa King Scorpion 250
The Montesa King Scorpion 250 was one of the bikes that changed public perception of what a dual sport machine was. Instead of taking a street machine and tacking on ‘dirt’ features, Montesa introduced the concept of starting with a true off-roader, and then tacking on lights and indicators to make it street legal.
Rathmell Rep – 1976 Montesa Cota 348
Malcolm Rathmell was a champion trials rider who rode a prototype Montesa Cota 348 in the Scottish Six Days Trial in 1975 – he placed second. During his career, he won the British Trails Championship six times in a ten year period, as well as the World Championship in 1974. He went on to start a mail order business in …
1967 Bultaco Metralla Mk2 Custom
This custom Metralla has a non-original engine that’s been modified with a Circle F expansion chamber, twin spark head and Mikuni carb. That along with the bodywork and other modifications means it’s ready for AHRMA racing…or use the total loss lighting system and enjoy this licensed motorcycle on the street. Find this Bultaco Metralla Mk2 Custom (VIN: B-2300886) for sale …
1996 Gas Gas Pampera 370 Enduro
Gas Gas is a Spanish manufacturer of primarily off-road motorcycles, especially their trials bikes. Here’s a hard-to-find example of one of their models, the Gas Gas Pampera 370. Unfortunately, there’s not much information available about this model, unless you speak Spanish. It’s a water-cooled, 237 cc single-cylinder engine that has to motivate a bike that weighs just 187 pounds. This …
European Import – 1965 Bultaco Metralla Mk2
In the 60s, Bultaco was known primarily for its off-roaders (I’ll be featuring a cherry Alpina 350 tomorrow), especially in the US. Their streetbikes were normally relegated to stay in Bultaco Cemoto’s home country of Spain, which imposed regulations allowing Bultaco to only use one engine in a small variety of sizes. You would think this put the Spanish company …
1974 Bultaco Alpina
After the success of the Sherpa T, Bultaco released the Alpina 250, a bike specifically built for enduro riders. After 3 years, Bultaco offered a more powerful 350 variant, which you see in front of you. For more information on the 250 version of the Alpina, check out this article from Hemmings. Bikes like this helped Bultaco win the world …
1969 Bultaco El Tigre
Available only for one year, this Bultaco El Tigre (if I’m allowed to oversimplify) is basically a Metralla 250 that’s been turned into a street scrambler. Only about 700 were ever sold, and this specific one has just 1,800 miles. The tank has been repainted, and it runs great. It’s been with the second owner since 1970. Find this Bultaco …
1974 Bultaco Matador MkV
The Spanish motorcycle company Bultaco was created when Francisco Bulto resigned from Montesa – a company he had co-founded – because the board wanted to withdraw from racing and he had no interest in such a decision. He took most of Montesa’s racing department with him and created Bultaco. Today we’ve got a Bultaco Matador MkV, designed by Luis Carreras, …
Derbi Senda 50
In production since 1998, the Derbi Senda is a 50cc motorcycle that was barely brought into the US. This is basically a tiny supermoto with excellent components – 6 speed transmission, liquid cooling, and a top speed over 50 miles per hour. You’ll get plenty of extras like a 24mm Mikuni carb, Arrow Ti exhaust, Rox 2″ risers, and more. …
1974 Bultaco Tiron
Post-Sale Update: This Bultaco El Tiron sold for $2,392.67 after 31 bids on eBay. Here’s a rare off-roader from Bultaco – I can’t say that I’ve ever seen one in the wild. It will need a little bit of work, but it runs. All that’s missing is the front light bulb, lens, and rear tail light. Find this Bultaco Tiron …
1976 Montesa 348 Trail
Post-Listing Update: Even though it was relisted, this Montesa 348 Trail never received a single bid at $1,595. Based on the revolutionary Cota, the Montesa 348 Trail was designed as a street-legal alternative that would allow you to travel nearly anywhere, albeit slowly.
1967 Bultaco Metralla Mk2
Post-Listing Update: After being relisted several times, this Metralla did not sell at $14,000, $13,700…or any price. In the 60s, Bultaco was known primarily for its off-roaders, especially in the US. Their streetbikes were normally relegated to stay in Bultaco Cemoto’s home country of Spain, which imposed regulations allowing Bultaco to only use one engine in a small variety of …
1972 Ossa Stiletto
Post-Sale Update: After 25 bids on eBay, this Ossa Stiletto sold for $2,475. The Ossa Stiletto is a simple 175cc enduro that’s notable for the flowy fiberglass bodywork that looks like it could be one piece. This specific example is in great mechanical shape and some scratches as to be expected of a 40 year-old bike. With several vintage stickers, …
1974 Montesa Cota 123
An excellent beginner trials bike (some of our readers probably started on one of these), the Montesa Cota 123 is now a simple reminder that bikes don’t have to be giant hunks of metal and horsepower for you to have fun on them. New riders are often stunned by how tiny the original Montesa’s are, likening them to a large …
