Who is bultaco - and is he/she for real ?

Question

traderbobday - how am I supposed to know the gender - I'm not psychic !!!

Answer 1

No real person as far as I know atleast not someone famous or well known.
Bultaco was a Spanish manufacturer of two stroke single cylinder motorcycles from 1958 to 1983. Although they made road and road racing motorcycles, their area of dominance was off road, in motocross (also historically known as "Scrambling), endurance, and trials competition. MotoGP star, Sete Gibernau is the grandson of the founder of Bultaco, Paco Bultó, one of the most important businessmen in Spain throughout the last century.

Bultaco motorcycles undoubdtedly experienced their height and popularity in the 1970's, prior to the onslaught of Japanese manufactured cycles that ultimately mastered not only the production of powerful engines but also good handling -- previously the exclusive domain of European-manufactured brands. The Japanese brands, however (e.g. Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki) delivered these to American dealers at lower prices, leading to the demise of European brand dominance on American flat track, short track, and moto-cross races.

Perhaps the most famous Bultaco model is the Sherpa T, a trials bike, which revolutionised the sport in the 1960s. At that time trials was almost exclusively a British sport using big heavy four-stroke machines. Irish trials ace Sammy Miller worked with Signor Bulto to produce a lightweight two-stroke machine which, overnight, rendered the heavy four-strokes obsolete. This coincided with and, perhaps, stimulated the growth in the popularity of trials in Europe and later the USA, which provided a lucrative market for Bultaco in the years to come

Answer 3

From paralumun:

Bultaco was founded in 1958 in Spain by Francisco Bulto.

Bultaco had a reputation for competition bikes. the Bultaco factory was closed December 22, 1979 after a long strike.

Although the factory did re-open, it was eventually merged with Montesa and Ossa, but in the end only Montesa survived.

:-D I miss my Yamaha Enduro!

Answer 4

Bultaco is very real, it is your preference as to the gender. Francisco Xavier Bulto
co-founded the Montessa company in 1946

I have ridden a Montessa, very nice machine.
