1974 Sherpa T – “The best for the best”. Scottish Six Days Trials, European Championships, Championships in England, Spain, France, USA, etc… they speak for themselves of a machine. But Bultaco demands much from the Sherpa T before offering it to the trials enthusiast. In the ’74 model you will appreciate the light and efficient brakes, both when wet and dry, the precise steering, the light and rigid frame, and a smooth and silent engine with a wide power band. Two words speak for the Sherpa T, “The satisfaction of the exigent”.

Take a close look at any top enduro rider’s bike. Chances are what you’ll see isn’t an enduro bike at all, but a converted motocrosser. For good reason. Production enduro bikes, traditionally, are a rung down on the technology ladder. This year’s tricks get built into the motocrosser. The enduro line gets them next year. Maybe. But top riders don’t have time to wait. They need this year’s technology, now. And they have the backing to get what they need. At Can-Am we thought seriously about that. We thought that there are probably a lot of riders around with the talent to take advantage of a superb motocross suspension and a storm-trooping enduro engine. But without the resources to put them together themselves. So we built it for you. We call it The Endurocrosser. When you set out to break with tradition, you might as well begin at the beginning. So we started designing our new Qualifier IV Endurocrosser from the frame up….Can-Am – We Will Win You

Practically born in a manger, by virtue of enthusiasm Bultaco has risen to be a guiding star in the world of moto-cross and scrambling. It’s said that money spent on racing has caused the downfall of many motorcycle factories, and this may well be true. But the story of the Spanish Bultaco factory proves that exactly the opposite can also happen. For if there had never been any racing, the Bultaco concern would not exist and that famous “thumbs up” sign would not be known the world over. The saga of wat is now Spain’s largest manufacteurer of motorcycles goes back almost exactly 10 years, to a day in May, 1958 when a board meeting of another well known Spanish maker of two-wheelers, Montesa, decided to abandon their racing program. This decision was a bitter blow to Francisco Bulto, a tall slim aristocrat of a man who was at that time a director of Montesa…

The Hodaka 250 can be summed up in one word – excitement. It not only has plenty of power, it has the right kind of power. Good low end, a super wide power band and an absolutely mind-blowing top end. As one rider aptly phrased it, “It’s kind of like having a rheostat connected to your eyelids. The more you twist the throttle, the wider your eyes get!” Handling is every bit as impressive. With long travel suspension and front forks that feature over 7 1/4 inches of travel, the Hodaka 250 inspires supreme confidenc in all types of terrain. In fact, we think the Hodaka 250 is the finest 250 you can buy…at any price. Consider performance, handling and features and we think you’ll have to agree – it’s a winner!
