One of the rarer Bultacos ever made, the El Bandido 360 was an open class racer that could be ordered with either a 19″ or 21″ front wheel depending on your desire to compete in MX events or Scrambles. Either way, you’d get a beautiful bike with one of my favorite logos in motorcycling.

The seller of this example calls it a “barn find” from the original owner’s family. “The bike is very special because it’s complete, original and unmolested. Everything is original on the bike from what I can tell and the research that I have done comparing this one to others. The Bultaco has little time on it. It has the original fiberglass body work in great condition, which is exceedingly rare to find on these bikes. The paintwork is original and in great shape. The paintwork would polish up great. I believe that the tires are even original on the bike as they are made in Spain Pirelli’s that still have great tread depth on them. And there is no evidence of marks on the original Akront wheels from tire irons.” It’ll obviously take some work to get running but I think it’d be worth it – thankfully the engine is said to kick over with good compression.
