very cool
'Taco's always sounded the coolest! right side shift, left side brake is always fun! has the rear brake been moved over to the right like I always see on these bikes?
Never seen one like that, Bultaco was more famous for its trials bikes I think... like Montesa the other spanish brand.
not running yet but I pulled it our of storage for a winter rebuild 
I found out more of what it is. Its a 1968 Bultaco Pursang 250
I didnt think this had brake hub on the rear but it does but its empty.
these were raced without brakes thats why they were all removed. I think it just looks mean with the 4 inch wide tires on it

Just caught this thread. I never got use to the shift on the Bul's but they made nice flat trackers. The early 70's ,in New England, was dominated at the Middleboro Track by the Bul's. The track had a hard surface and lacked anything close to being called Mottocross. Needless to say my '72 Suzuki TM 250 couldn't touch the lower powered Bul's at this track. But, put me at Pepperell Ma and I'd leave them behind. I took my TM 250 and did the frame, piston, ports, oil, carburator, and exhaust mods but by '74 the new TS 250's left me behind. Here on the Cape we had and still do have Bultaco owners. A few of the best from the early 70's were Fletcher and Jono Brock. These two rode the Trinity Motorcycle Club colors. If you can remember back that far you can see the Trinity triangle on an early Arlow Guthrie album and some bul's. His song, the Motorcycle Song, was about his friend Ray Brock. Trivia :roll:

Funny you should bring up this. This guy lives in New York west of Pittsfield MA, just a short haul from where Alice's Restaurant movie was made. I was thinking about Fletcher Brock who rode the Bul's and found he made Mandolins and such in Seatle WA for famous people like Arlow Guthrie. Jono Brock still lives in Wellfleet on the Cape here as well as Alice from Alice's Restaurant. Brings back old memories
