1968 – Bultaco El Bandido 360cc, Chassis No. B-1800987 Engine No. M-1800987

No registration certificate; no roadworthiness test In the Bultaco range, the El Bandido was a motocross bike designed to compete on the American market in the 500 cc class. It was fitted with a new engine, known as the ‘Pedralbes’, and a new double-cradle frame. Although a little too heavy for circuit racing, it nevertheless gained great prestige in cross-country events, held out in the open in the deserts of southern California, where its weight was not a significant factor. In 1967, Bultaco launched its first machine in the Open class: the 350 cc El Bandido. In 1968, the bore was increased from 83.2 to 85 mm, bringing the displacement to 362 cc and producing 43.5 chevaux. The problem was that, weighing 114 kg (251 pounds) – around 9 kg more than the Pursang 250 – and with nearly ten chevaux more, very few riders were able to tame the ‘Bandit’. This example is in remarkable condition, both mechanically and cosmetically: a rare opportunity to add this model to your collection.
