This gorgeous motorcycle is a game changer. Bultaco came into being in the late 1950s with high quality racing motorcycles. They were involved in all forms of racing, but when they introduced their Sherpa T (trials) model they started to dominate the dirt.
Prior to the Sherpa, trials bikes were heavy 4 strokes from the English manufacturers. Sammy Miller mounted on a Bultaco changed ALL of that practically overnight. Bultaco won every championship available multiple times. When they started exporting the Pursang to the US, it took over the dirt race scene for a couple of years.
Back to Sammy Miller. He was the rider that won more European championships than anybody, and most mounted on a Sherpa T. Bultaco put out the “Sammy Miller” variant to capitalize on this fact.
Just because this bike is so beautiful, don’t let it fool you. This is an incredibly capable and versitile 2 stroke trials machine. It is fully licensed and ridden in El Cajon, California and can be purchased right here on Cycle Trader for $6,500.
