In Off-Road, Spain by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Listing Update: Despite 24 bids on eBay up to $4,051, these El Tirons did not meet reserve. The Bultaco (El) Tiron is a true rarity – it’s even been hard for me to find decent information on it. Despite that, a seller is offering two examples that have consecutive serial numbers, if that means anything to you.

Ending Soon – 1967 Bultaco Metralla

Their streetbikes were normally relegated to stay in Bultaco Cemoto’s home country of Spain, which imposed regulations allowing Bultaco to only use one engine in a small variety of sizes.

1969 Bultaco El Tigre
