Linked to you guys by friends at the Ton Up Club. Stolen ad text directly from my Craigslist ad. Don't want to sell, wasn't real firm on selling, but things just came up at work that firmed me up. Time to liquidate assets. Haven't even put the Duc up anywhere yet. Probably going to cry when someone buys either of these. Will bottle tears and include free of charge.
Up for sale is my 1970 Bultaco Metralla. If you know the Metralla, you know the legends and the amazing history these bikes have. Bultaco is mostly known in the US as an off road bike company, but their road racing is the stuff of legends too. This model Metralla cleaned up at the Isle of Man in 1967 when Bill Smith and Tommy Robb took first and second in the 250 production class. They were .4 seconds apart. The next guy came in two minutes later. This thing was a monster out of the box.
This is an ex race bike, used to run at Indianapolis Raceway Park. Still has some scars from those years, they add character. After the racing years, a headlight and taillight were added back on, but the bike is still in racing tune. It's a 1970 Metralla frame, tank and front wheel, everything else is modified. Heavily worked Pursang mk7 250cc engine, custom expansion chamber. Mikuni carb, tomaselli clip ons. 35mm forks up front, modified rear suspension. Ceriani aluminum front fender.
This bike has nothing unnecessary. And by unnecessary, I mean it has nothing that doesn't make it go, stop or turn. No turn signals or mirrors. No speedo or tach. No ignition switch. No battery. Walk up to it, kick it over, ride it away. For this reason I ride with a chain lock and chain it up whenever I'm not within 10 feet.
2 stroke, uses premix. Runs and rides great. Clear title.
Fast as hell. Seriously. Weighs less than 250 lbs wet. Ran 103 mph stock, this one is not just lighter, it has MUCH more power.
I have the original numbers matching engine too. If you want that we can work something out on it. Some spare parts, and a frame too, not included but could be. $4500

Also selling my Ducati. $5800. 2002 748, base model, Arrest Me Red, biposto, 7419 miles. Small ding on gas tank from toolbox, small garage scrapes on both side, down once at 1 mph rolling to a stop, just has some scraping on and around the clutch cover, very very minimal. Has aftermarket clutch cover, totally stock otherwise. All services performed in St Louis with receipts from prior owner.

I have since removed the larger non-stock Duc decal. It was not to my personal taste. You can thank me for saving you the work.
