Brand New – 1978 Bultaco Streaker

In Cafe Racer, Spain by Abhi3 Comments

One of the most desirable models from the Spanish company, the Bultaco Streaker was a beautiful little cafe racer that was only produced for 3 years. Rumors suggest that just 28 were imported into the US before the EPA changed emissions regulations in 1979, effectively rendering this bike (and most other two-stroke highway vehicles at the time) illegal. This example has been with the same owner since new and has NEVER BEEN STARTED.

The Streaker was actually offered with either a 75cc or 125cc engine – the latter produced just 10 horsepower but it was in a frame designed with help from a aerospace manufacturer, plus it came with cast aluminum wheels, a steering stabilizer, and disc brakes. Even when it was released, the bike was considered “exquisite” and a collector’s item. For more information on the Streaker (and a pleasant tale of how someone has been trying in vain to get one of these for decades), check out this tale on Hooniverse.

The seller says this is a museum piece considering how little it has been used. Incredibly, the seller said he was planning on riding it many times but he “just didn’t until I just stopped even thinking about it.” Wow. It has Marvel Mystery oil in it and the seller kicks it over occasionally. The sale includes all the original paperwork including the MSO.
