As for Bultaco- the GasGas line I understand is a related company to Bultaco.
The CZ company still exists, making chain and other industrial product, bit ot my knowledge no bikes anymore.

Nearly but not quite. The founders of Gas Gas ran a shop that sold Bultacos. When Bultaco went belly up they decided to develop their own product to sell in the shop.
Sherco had the rights to the Bultaco name but the family withdrew the rights after a year.
