Title: 1971 Bultaco Alpina 250 with 600 miles
Post by: Husabergpete on April 08, 2014, 04:01:46 pm
Gents,

Putting this post up for Andy Gordon  -  0412 970 138

Selling his 1971 Bultaco Alpina - bike is very original and running. Still has speedo, tail light, seat cover and chain guide etc.

Located in Gerringong just south of Wollongong

I have seen the photos of it. Blue fibreglass tank seat and everything looks in factory shape.

He is asking $2500 ono.


Bob (RTB) should be able to stick the 2 pics up on the site for us.

I have the pics if you want email me    [email protected]     and I will flick them out

Cheers

Pete for Andy

Back to the bike.
If it is a 1971 model it should be a prefix PM/PB85(MODEL85).

I actually think these were a great little bike, and would make a hell of a easy and fun Vinduro mount.
My Bro-inlaw had one when I was a teen.. I thought it was great.
He put his foot down, and barred me from it after I crashed it the second time ::)

They made some pretty cool bikes Mr Bultaco and his family, if they where Italian they would probably be still going...abeit with 20 different owners since the early 80's. 8)

That's a stunner .. and at $2500 ... an absolute bargain price surely??

Post by: Matador107 on April 09, 2014, 10:46:19 pm
I know I'm biased but that is an outright bargain. There's more than that in parts alone.A piston is $295 plus rebore, factory alloy guards cubic dollars. Unfortunately wifey has wagged the finger and said no more for the equipe'.

Back in my school days one of the local kids had been given one from his older brother. Looking back we knew nothing about bike prep.He pushed that bike further than he ever rode it it seemed at the time.He always needed someone to help him push start it and would take a tow rope riding with him.

I know I keep saying no more bikes ::) but I would rather this one instead of some that I have.
If it is still for sale in three weeks? It will come to my place.

The only thing missing of that bike is the exhaust resonator box.
The bike is that good, that it would be a sin to restore it.
Spit and polish and you would have a genuine slice of time.

I couldn't see the airbox or the boot between the carby and airbox.  Or is that an optical illusion?

The "85" is what is important Pete.
That means it is a model 85 Alpina 250. That was produced from 1971 till 1974.
I believe it means the 812 one made.

Gee, you have a keen eye Craig.

I wonder if I could find it? ::)

Pete, I have been looking forward to catching up with you, with Broadford in mind.
But with all the resent events and changes in my life(all positive, I am free ;) )I am forced to compromise some VMX events though.
Time and money ::) The purchase of this Alpina has cemented my instead choice ::)
I now have Nepean more firmly than ever in mind ;D

I am keen to squeeze this one in too(need time and money to prepare some bikes)

Actually HusabergPete, doesn't know yet, but I intend to offer him a bribe tonight, in an effort to get this Alpina to
Gloucester, if he can squeeze it on :)

Hey if you are in Oz at the time Pete(yamaico)? you could have a great weekend with the rest of us.
put some trials tyres on the RD and help us destroy their showground ;D

Expecting some  8) as Bluez music too ;)

No worries Mick, it's all about priorities. I'm bloody happy you snagged that Bully. Gloucester sounds great but I think I will be in Thailand - if not I'll be there for sure.

I purchased a set about 3months ago from MD Racing Products in the UK

Try this - front silver - part number - UFO UNIVERSAL VINTAGE FRONT FENDER 1960-1974 8000 S
http://www.mdracingproducts.co.uk/products/ufo-universal-front-fender-cross-enduro-me08000

and this - rear silver (also lists metallic?) - part mumber silver UFO VINTAGE MOTOCROSS REAR FENDER 1960-1974 8020 S
http://www.mdracingproducts.co.uk/universal-rear-fender-cross-27#

I would recommend that you clean and seal the internal of the fuel tank against modern fuels as a first priority. Probably last for years as is but could fail and that would be a shame

It's good to see a bike go to the proper guy, I just sold my DR600 Dakar to Tony T and that's the same deal....enjoy it. I have never owned a Bully but have a soft spot for a 76 250 Pursang.....it will happen one day. 8)

Well I thought the big search might have bought on early dementia or at the very least, insanity ::)

The airfilter material is the original fuzzy nylon one.The best place for it is in the bin.You can buy replacement Uni filters to suit and the engine will last forever.

Post by: Mick D on April 14, 2014, 09:20:53 am
Yes Tony, it is a fuzzy nylon filter upon a closer look. And yeap, I be definitely getting one of the uni filters, thanks ;)

Yes Pete, It was a feel good moment when I found the air box :) a real good moment ;D And it is as pliable as new, with no cracks either ;D
I found some other really good original Bully stuff too, more to come on that when I get my hands on the bike :)
Which, I would like to take you up on the offer to grab it for me and bring it to Gloucester with you thanks Pete(I will be in touch).

The Bultaco cult thing seems to extend to one of the better parts reproduction supply networks around :)
Like David, Greg etc all indicate, all of the rubbers etc are reproduced to original specs. And Iain, I checked out the Sammy Miller stuff, great tips and leads thanks, Thanks fellas ;)
