This actually looks pretty damn cool!  Not sure what Evo/Post Vintage class you would race it in, but you’d have to slide it in somewhere!

Probably a hell of a lot better than what was in there originally. I wonder what has been done with the rear to balance out the front?

Pretty sure that not a 'Bultamaha,' it's a...... "Bultonda"? Heck, it's truly hard to say. But either way, goddam is that well done. There's a whole bunch of dedicated hours in that bike, and they were well spent, in my opinion. Can't imagine selling it once I'd finished it.

That bike is very well done. 

Bultaco made some beautiful bikes from the late 60’s to the 70’s. My 1975 250 Pursang was one of my all time favorite bikes.

Yeah, a more period correct fork like 85 CR250 would have topped it off.

But yes, very cool.  Talk of the track when you showed up…

Yep, YPVS, cylinder-reed engine from the early '80s, I'd say. Forks look like 2000s-era KYB units from a Yamaha as well. (The front hub says 2022 or newer.) 

Wasn't Pursang another brand? I didn't know that was a Bultaco model.

Pursang was a Bultaco model. Not sure of the years, I’m guessing 1973-1980 ish???

My brother has a 74 Pursang and mine was a 75

Cripes, you must be young, Falcon.

Or, perhaps, I and many others here, must be bloody  old. 😁

Here's a listing of models / model names from Bultaco - there's even a couple, I did not know of.: https://cemoto.tripod.com/bultaco.htm

 Montesa  also had quite a variety of model names - well, a fair few old(er) brands had a big variety of model names, including the Japanese manufacturers.

Okay - got it. So the engine is from a Yamaha, the frame is from a Bultaco, but that tank & shrouds? What gives? It looks like a Bultaco tank, and I know they experimented with water cooled engines, but I don't remember them making a tank with shrouds. So - a hybrid fiberglass Bultaco tank customized to accept early 80's CR Honda shrouds? I'm completely perplexed - but whatever - I kinda love it.

It was described as a Yamaha engine in a Bultaco frame, but obviously it might be a mix of a lot of bikes and brands. It just looks cool to me. Someone really had a cool project in their mind, and probably too much money in their pocket!

I'm old enough to have heard the names Bultaco, CZ, Montesa, Can-Am and Maico, but not old enough to have ever seen one at the track. I started racing in 1985.

I think that's JC Baccus' custom build. I just saw that Kenny is selling it. They're both members of the Texas Vintage Racing Club (TVRC). JC builds some great bikes. I won a KX250 he restored in a raffle.

This is his, as well.
