Wouldn't it be great to race against Bultaco's again? http://www.motocrossactionmag.com/M...0&tier=3&nid=19FE40DDD9A24239991C547EF924CF9E
that prototype in the garage looks an awful lot like a husky with white foam all over it. I hope for their sake they work on the looks, a lot! that computer drawing is ugly.
Bultaco never really went away. Sherco is reincarnated from the old brand and produces world class trials,enduro and supermoto bikes.
Sherco was going to revive the Bultaco name when it started building bikes. One problem.... The Bultaco name is owned by a little vintage Bultaco shop in upstate NY with the blessing of the late Senor Bulto. This derailed Sherco's attempt to use the Bultaco trademark.
kind of like OSSA, and our local guy Keith L. here in SoCal?? I think (not 100% sure) he owns the OSSA name. see http://www.ossaplanet.com/ wouldn't it be great for all these names/classic marques to be at a starting line near you ready to race?!
I thought Bill Haus from Rode Island owned Bultaco? Oh I forgot he just owns truckloads of old Bultaco parts. justSaying
Not sure if its worth mentioning.....but Senior Bulto's grandson is none other than MotoGP racer Sete Gibernau..who was regarded as one of rossi's main rivals..untill he retired....he is rumored to be coming out of retirement for 09 He is arguably one of the best riders in MotoGP never to have won the title. In 1998, rights to the Bultaco name were purchased by Marc Tessier who used it to help launch a range of purpose-built trials motorcycles from his company Sherco Moto S.A.R.L. The bikes were initially named Bultaco Sherco's, then in 2000 the bikes became 'Sherco by Bultaco' and in 2001 the Bultaco name was dropped altogether... after that the Bulto family withdrew the rights to the name from Marc Tessier....
Although still a Canadian citizen, from 1951 through 1953 Bolger served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Germany and France. Bolger, pictured above between U.S. Bultaco distributor Bill Dutcher (right) and the legendary F.X. Bulto himself, started racing in 1956 aboard a 500cc AJS. The Alouette , was manufactured in Canada, in the 1970s. Not many made….at all. Sorry I thought I could just sneak that in...
"Hugh Weaver owns the name, logo, and domain name. http://www.bultaco.com/" The Alpina is beeeoooooootiful!
Yep Manuel "Sete" Gibernau Bulto' never a fan of his but I hope he can push the envelope of Rossi vs Stoner!!!
