Since it was not recognized (as far as I can tell) by the factory I think I'll call it Series 1.5, and why not, it just adds to the confusion.Īs mentioned, all comments, changes and additional pictures welcome. I have to go back and look at my notes to see if I can figure out when the shock mounts were moved during the first Series. I'm not sure if it was fabricated by Woody or was noted by dealers and distributors at the time. So the Series 1-3 was not recognized by the factory. My guess it that the factory didn't consider the shock mount change to be a major change (worthy of a Series number), whereas the different frame tubes were. Series 3, twin frame tubes under the engine, like the M80 and which was the basis for the Kit Campeon.' Series 2, single frame tube under engine, angled shocks with seat unit altered to accomodate relocated top shock mounts. Series 1 with single tube under engine, upright shocks. However, they only list the model 49 as having one frame change during its production run but there were two. 'The serial numbers are from Bultaco's own figures so they should be right.

Tank is of the English design with a pop up cap and a forward mounted petcock. Rear rim is an Akront rather than the original steel rim. The head does have a missing fin and the barrel does have bent and missing fins as shown in the pictures. Motor has good compression and great power. It is not a show bike but could easily be prepped for racing.įiberglass has cracks and scratches from use but all pieces are in decent shape. I am selling it because I don't ride it enough and would rather have it go to someone that would use it as intended. It runs well, tarts easily and it functions as it should. I bought it to ride and not race and have enjoyed owning and riding it at vintage events. BULTACO MOTORCYCLES 682 TAGHKANIC CHURCHTOWN RD CRARYVILLE, NY 12521 51 51 fax.
