One of the last production Pursangs built, it is #226 from a run of 1700. This matching-numbers Mk12 comes from the collection of Linda Pomeroy, Jim's widow, and is sold with the original bill of sale from Steve's Bultaco, the famous Southern California motorcycle shop. It was also the first Pursang to use reed valves as part of the intake tract. Now in need of extra ground clearance, the Mk12 was the first Bultaco motocrosser fitted with a high-level exhaust system. By the time the Mk12 version arrived in 1979, the move to long-travel suspension was on, so we see a leading-axle fork up front, and at the rear a pair of moved-up, laid-down shocks and a reinforced swingarm. Esta última moto es la que, para muchos de nosotros, sigue siendo objeto de culto y puerta abierta a la imaginación de lo que una de nuestras marcas más míticas pudo haber sido: el canto del cisne de Bultaco. riders were calling "rough scrambles," soon to morph into motocross. Llegamos al final de nuestras motos que no llegaron a la serie. The Pursang was introduced in 1965 and quickly became a favorite for what U.S.
In doing so, he became the first rider ever to win his debut motocross GP, the first American to win an MXGP, the first American to lead the MXGP point standings, and the first rider of any nationality to win a motocross GP on a Spanish motorcycle. In 1973, aged 20 and in his first race on the world stage, Pomeroy served notice that America would be a coming force in international motocross – previously a European domain – when he rode his Bultaco Pursang 250 to overall victory at the Spanish Grand Prix.
motocross fans, the words "Bultaco Pursang" will always conjure up fond images of the late Jim Pomeroy.
