Classic Dirt Bikes "1974 250/360 Bultaco Pursang's" 

Me too! Back in the 1970s my cousins and I rode all kinds of bikes out in the woods. Put knobbys on whatever we could get running and go for it. I did once own a Puch 175 which was pretty capable. It had strange front forks with coil over shocks rather than the usual telescoping type. I think the best bike I ever rode was a healthy Penton Six Day. Light, fairly powerful and just unreal in the woods... I could ride that bike comfortably at a higher level than any other. Ah those were the days!

Thanks 👍

Your very welcome Jeffrey and I hope you continue to enjoy further postings from my channel.

I had a 74 Bultaco Alpina 250 years ago that I got in a trade for some new snow tires I had that I got running and bought a refurbished gas tank for it from Hughes Bultaco in NY that cost me 230.00 at the time and not even 2 weeks after filling it up with fuel and oil mix the damn paint started to bubble on the left side of the tank and it started to leak fuel. I should have contacted them about this but eventually sold the bike with the tank the way it was . Fun bike to ride handled well because it was light and agile and had good low end torque after I did a top end job on it and put new clutch plates in the bike . I studded the tires and had it out on a lake that was plowed for radar runs a week before I took the bike out and had a lot of fun with it doing wheelies on the ice with it . Wish I had kept it now because you don't see many of them anymore. Not sure what top speed was because the Speedo was gone but I figured maybe 75 mph possibly but never did crank on it hard for a long strait away to see how fast it would go with someone riding next to me with a Speedo to see what top end was on it . Compared to my 74 Yamaha MX360 I had years before and the Honda XR 600R I had at the time when I had the Bultaco it was pretty slow and tame being it was a Enduro but it was fun to ride . I had buddies that had old Harley Davidson Sportsters that had the right hand shift with the rear brake on the left that I got to work on and ride so when I got the Bultaco had no problems riding it once I got it running and fixed up again but thought the left side kick start was kind of neat and it actually seemed to work pretty good on the bike I had. The Amal carburetor worked ok but was pretty crude having to use the tickler to flood the engine for cold starts and you'd always get a little fuel that would leak when using it on your fingers and had thought of buying the Mikuni upgrade but didn't because once the bike was started and was running warmed up it ran pretty good so I left it on the bike .

Thanks Tony although I'm running out of material in my archive's as I cant get out to film more new bikes with this Covid19 lockdown. But thanks for your comment and for watching the clip.

@@monticlassictv I subscribed to you a couple of days ago Chris...so at least I've got a few videos of yours to view...all the best regards Tony

David Zornes Hi David yes your right I have used them before although because of the dreaded Covid19 virus I am committed to staying in the house so I am unable to get out and about for new material for my channel but thanks anyhow for watching.

Here in the U.S. all bikes were required to have standardized shifting on the left and braking on the right. That's why the 1975 250 is suspicious to me.

My Frontera had shaft both sides was 250 think was 76😊

You should replace old Bing with a Keihin 38

Is that with up or down pipe thinking would be down

Mine was 250 Frontera did put pursang pipe and lectron carb on it,went well

Always wanted the up pipe from when it came out, had got as far as drawings and a cardboard template based on pictures ov the new model
