After the success of the Sherpa T, Bultaco released the Alpina 250, a bike specifically built for enduro riders.
The 244.2c two-stroke single pushed 20 horsepower through a five-speed transmission which was shifted on the right (kick start lever on the left). Top speed was a bit over 72 miles per hour, and the 11″ of ground clearance and 7″ front fork travel meant that you could cover a wide variety of terrain. Bikes like this helped Bultaco win the world trials championship nine times in eleven years, and after three years the Spanish company offered a more powerful 350 variant. For more information on the 250 version of the Alpina, check out this article from Hemmings.
This example has been with the seller for over a decade – he says he’s only ridden it in the streets of the Santa Monica mountains (including the occasional stop at the Rock Store based on the photos). It comes with the owner’s manual, original shocks (the bike has aftermarket ones on it now), and some spares. It’s plated, registered, and ready for someone else to plonk around on.
