I used to love watching Bultaco's and Husky's beat the crap out of other bikes back on the 1970's dirt tracks. Bultaco's were all power, but dicey as all get out - hard to control. I had a '72 restored Honda Elsinore until I finally decided to let someone else own it last year. I bought it used for $100 in a bar in 1987. Loved that bike.
The Bultaco factory closed in 1983, so these would have been not just the last new models for Canada, but the last new models anywhere in the world.

ReplyDeleteThe first generation of Elsinore was beautiful, and such a classy name!
