After Spanish manufacturer Montesa decided to withdraw from competition, Francesc “Paco” Bultó left the company (along with most of the racing department employees) and decided to start his own motorcycle company in 1958, with the brand an amalgamation of his own surname Bultó and his nickname Paco. Despite Bultaco’s primitive facilities — early models were built on one of Bultó’s family farms — the upstart manufacturer had a bike ready for the press by 1959. And here’s the thing: just two months later, they entered their first Spanish Grand Prix, sweeping seven of the first ten finishing positions in the 125cc class in the process.

With time, Bultaco became best known for its off-road competition bikes, such as the Sherpa T, the Matador, and the Pursang which was produced between ’67 and ’81. Originally offered in displacements ranging from 125cc to 350cc, the highest-spec Pursang grew to 370cc before the first closure of the factory in 1979.

This example is VIN: PB12001006. Engine PM12001006. The seller purchased the bike approximately four or five years ago from a private party out of New Jersey and states, “I bought this one but have several. My other 250 has a spark arrester and an OHV title, which means I can run it on public lands, not just the MX track. This one could be cleaned/detailed and made part of a nice collection, or ride it. It is numbers matching.”

There is no odometer, true mileage unknown.

Maintenance:
The seller notes he recently changed the gear oil.

Modifications:
Per the seller, “Mikuni carb, Billet Innovations tuned pipe.”

Inside of the tank:

It is riding on Spanish Pirelli MT 16 tires which are aged out.

Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:
“Some rusty chrome. a few chips in the fiberglass fenders.”

Currently located in Edgewater, Florida, this Bultaco is offered on a Bill of Sale only. Have any Pursang stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the “Comments” tab!

Please Note:
Florida law requires the payment of sales tax from all persons making purchases from businesses in Florida. This includes out of state residents purchasing motor vehicles in Florida from motor vehicle dealers.

There are two exceptions: (1) purchases made by licensed resellers/dealers with copies of the dealer’s license and tax certificate provided to us at the time of sale, or (2) where we consign and ship the motorcycle to the buyer (i.e interstate commerce). Dealer purchases will be reassigned to the named licensed dealer and not to any personal account.

In most cases and pursuant to existing interstate agreements, purchaser will receive credit for any taxes paid to Florida. For more information please see this Tax Information Publication (TIP) from the Florida Department of Revenue.

Florida further allows tax abatement, i.e. a reduced tax rate, where the purchaser completes Form DR-123 and provides a notarized copy of the same to the seller at the time of sale. In such cases, the tax may be reduced to the lesser of the Florida rate or the rate in the buyer’s home state, whichever is less.

We therefore will be collecting the Florida sales tax of 6% on all purchases except those by licensed dealers having provided current copies of the dealer license and tax resale certificate to us at time of sale, or on products shipped by us to the buyer in the buyer’s home state. We will apply or refund any tax abatement applicable for persons who have provided the completed Form DR-123 at time of sale. The abatement will be processed along with the paper and title work after the sale. Florida residents may further be subject to their county surtax, where applicable. This applies only to select counties where you might live, generally 0.5 to 1%.

We will process Florida title/tag for Florida residents or persons titling said vehicles for street use in Florida. This typically runs about $150-160 in Florida charges + sales tax for title transfers and registration of street bikes, less for OHV vehicles where customers require OHV titles and green stickers. We never charge extra dealer or bogus document fees.

We must strictly adhere to these policies. Feel free to call Bullpen Cycles [484-788-9550] with your questions. We’ll do our best to help.
