Not VMX, sorry...
But I'm offered a 1962 Bultaco TSS125, 4speed aircooled, original bike with matching and correct numbers.
Don't know much about them, so if anyone have any thoughts about it, parts, value etc etc I'll be very happy for info.

Rare old beast and quite valuable
(http://www.fantasyjunction.com/img/cars/xlarge/25593.jpg)
just like gold plated rocking horse poo
-
You forgot quite good looking too
-
Don't waste your time on that old thing, I on the other hand is interested, send me a PM.
-
Grab it with both hands and run - Hock the house if you need to ;D
Parts ?? Maybe Romeromotos
-
How much? Doesn't matter, a bargain at almost any price - within reason, of course. Rare & desirable if complete.
-
That thing is Swweeeet ? bit of sacrilege but how good would it be on club plates on the road ! what a head-turner ;)
-
You'll never find bits for it so you would be best off selling it to me for my low ball offer :D Seriously a TSS is a proper bit of kit highly desirable and valuable. Don't let it pass

Just arrived back from IOM TT and Moto GP in Barcelona, only Bully on the road we saw was a Sherpa T in Andorra near Spain.It is a tax free country between France and Spain, I have never seen so many bike shops in one place in my life.
Sherpa T and a Metralla Kit America on display in front window of two shops.Bully parts are available, I have what I believe is a brand new cylinder liner sleeve to suit a TSS 350.
The marque is not dead yet.

Bully made some awesome bikes over the years.....they rate higher in my opinion than those German bikes that people rave about, they covered the full spectrum AND won World Championships.....TSS's are great bikes, Donny Newell has some nice ones. When you look at the Bultaco range, I think they covered more types of motorcycling than even the nip's.....and you could actually buy them. They made Road, trials, kids, enduro, trials, flat track, speedway, Motocross, trail, scooters, road race, I don't know what you call them....KTM Freeride type bikes [trials but enduro mixture]......they did it all, and sometimes invented it!!!...go the Bully's. If you can get hold of the books Don Newell sells about Bully's, buy them, they are a great read...Senor Bulto was a very smart man ahead of his time. I have to add one at least to my collection..a 76 250 Pursang....beautiful bike. 8)

Can anyone give a good estimate on value?
Fairing and correct frontfender etc is included.

Definitely a TSS frame/forks/wheels and body work. It's a bully 4 speed engine (some TSS's were 4 spd). What is the engine number and does it match the frame # to confirm the engine is a genuine TSS or just a TSS with a 4 spd motor from another model.

I gotta ask, did you buy this little gem?.

Yep, got it home last night.
Missing ignitioncover, tacho-gear and fairingbracket.
Othervice looks correct down to every bolt.
Even has the small strange tank under the seat, extra oil?
Motorcondition is a big ??, but turns an has some compression.

Great Score Ola, That one would excite any new owner :) 8)

what a nice buy,wonder how many more treasures are tucked away in peoples garages just waiting to be discovered.

Yes :) it's a interesting little bike for sure.
Did cost me a bit though....
