Help, Just had a thousand beers.
« on: January 12, 2008, 09:12:42 pm »
Just slipped up to a mates place to have a quite one, after a couple, it seems like a good idea to bring back to life a old Bultaco  Chassis No   B-1800130, engine no  M-7000233, Thinking it`s a 71, 350? any info on what it is ?  he also has a GM frontera he bought new in 77 up for sale.

Hi Snowy,

It looks like the frame is a Frontera Mk 10 250 (1978ish)
The engine is much earlier, it looks like a 1970 360.

PM me if you'd like to talk about how to get it going again...

Cheers,
Mark.

Hi Snowy,
              Sorry to contradict Mark, What you have is a M18 El Bandito frame fitted with a M70 El Montadero(enduro) engine. It has slighly different gear ratios to the original bandit engine and a heavier flywheel,apart from that they are the same, both were 360 cc, had the same cylinder and piston. The heads were slightly different compression ratios as well.The bandit had a single coil ignition,the El Mont has a double plug ignition and the heaviest flywheel ever put on a dirt bike!!

Thanks Moto,   for the reply, Not wrong about the flywheel, was going through the engine parts the flywheel was heavier than the complete crank/conrod assembly,my mate had this running back in the 80`s? but kept trashing the crank key,since had the crank rebuilt/repaired but never re-assembled, not a Bultaco man,what was the Bandito`s place in the hole show. Hope I dont Have to put on 60KG and start swearing like blue blazes? ??????

Was the Bandito a motocrosser ? even with a sore head I think the Bandito might be a interresting project, any more info on this bike would be great, web sites etc. Thanks Mark.

It was marketed as a motocrosser. It was, in fact, a dire plan hatched by the Franco regime to lure young men from around the world into committing violent suicide.

The legendary Harro cries tears of blood over his drowned rat Bandito at Crawford River a couple of years ago.
Where are ya Harro? The forum misses your wit, charm and wonderful exchanges with Nathan. Come back baby!

I've had the pleasure of meeting Peter as well, he showed his mug at a couple of QVMX meets last year.He certainly looks better on the forum than in real life!  :D
