Whether or not it really worked was never substantiated-other than the fact that Bultacos had enormous pull and low-end torque.Very nice mostly original condition 1972 Bultaco Pursang 250,numbers matching bike.Has had only one registered owner since new,will include original owners manual,and title.Starts second kick,shifts fine,clutch is good brakes work.Last time it was really ridden other than up and down my street was about 1985.Gas tank was sent to a company in NY to be totally reconditioned and repainted back to factory new specs.Tank has never had gas in it,it is brand new….not cheap.If angle looks a little off on the bike,I just set it on the frame for the picture.Has brand new front tire and K&N air filter.Bike last ran about a week ago,used a gas tank off another bike.Vin #s on motor and frame are the same they are….8600633.Flexible on holding bike while transport is arranged,or meeting them if within 20 miles of my house.Only reason I am selling this bike,just found out I need a hip replacement,my days of pounding around on MX bikes with 4" of travel are over.Happy bidding…set reserve at about 1/2 of what its worth. The concept was a basic aspect of physics more inertia was transferred to the crank. This model would gain an important reputation in the American market mainly due to its excellence performance and power.

Despite it being commonly associated with the Montjuic road project it had previously been mounted on a Pursang Mk 5. Cylinders were offset, positioned slightly forward above the crank. At the beginning of the 70’s Bultaco developed an engine with completely new characteristics such as 397cc, primary gear drive, forward kickstarter and gearbox with only four speeds. They employed an interesting design element in their engines that significantly influenced the nature of the machine’s power delivery. In 1974 Bultacos were right foot shift, making the change to left side in 1975.

Having great torque allowed the rider to rely on brute power to get them out of corners a gear high, thus requiring less shifting. Despite the limitations of suspension travel they managed to be relatively stable (for the period). In corners, their ability to either pivot in soft or hard soil, or to rail berms with equal aplomb, made them extremely accommodating for a range of riding styles. They had shapely, extremely thin fiberglass gas tanks-so thin that the head fins stuck out on either side. In the first round of the World Championship of motocross in 1973, an unknown Jim Pomeroy debuted with a spectacular victory over reigning champions.īultacos (or “Buls” as they were affectionately known) a beauty all their own. Bultaco Pursang 400cc Prototype 1972 At the beginning of the 70’s Bultaco developed an engine with completely new characteristics such as 397cc, primary gear drive, forward kickstarter and gearbox with only four speeds. The best story of the Bultaco Pursang was starred by a barely 20-year-old pilot, at the controls of a near-production Mk6. Pictured before and after I completed a total restoration of this numbers matching Bultaco MK6 M101 175cc Pursang. The 244.29cc engine put out about 37 horsepower and the. This replica of the factory race bikes is based on a 250cc, meaning it was a Model 192 in Bultaco’s language of internal designations.
