Bultaco was formed out of the wreckage of Montessa racing in 1958. Within one year they had their first racing win, taking 7 of the first 10 places in the Spanish Grand Prix 125cc class. In 1965 Bultaco completely dominated the Trials specialty with the two stroke Sherpa T, driving several British makers out of the business. In 1965 Bultaco introduced the Pursang 250 to America and the rest is history. For several years the Pursang absolutely dominated off road racing in all forms.
By 1970 Bultaco was THE off road racer in America and the Pursang 68 was the primary reason. Bultaco Pursang for 1970 boasted a 244.29 cc two stroke single cylinder motor that pushed 35 HP through a 5 speed transmission. Front fork travel was 6 ½ inches, the rear travel was 3 15/16 inches. Ground clearance was 9 ½ inches and dry weight a mere 220 LBS (100 KG).
This particular 1970 Bultaco Pursang (VIN: 6803025) has an impressive list of new equipment that has been put into the restoration including new engine internals, fork seals, carb, tires, spokes, and much more.
