Just bought my second Sherpa blind off the internet (After a 30 year break, and countless other bikes)  bike advertised as one owner 212 miles only.   It is a bit rough but I am in two minds on how original it is.  Has a couple of period (I think) after market parts and mods, tires, exhaust and a Preston Petty rear mud "Mudder"..   Sort of thing I might have done during the same time period.  
 
Tires look to be immaculate and are "Full Bores"  tried looking up serial numbers a a potential clue as to if the stories are true.  If anyone knows how to find serial numbers by year please let me know.   Dealer sold it to me, and as does have a title I have registered it for Road use, Title would appear to support the one owner in a collection story.
 
Ordered NOS lights, license plate holder and wiring loom to make it street legal.  As well as carb kit, air filter and ignition kit.    Should be a good project for over the weekend.
 
Here are a couple of pictures, will repost when it starts up......

The only thing that indicates perhaps more use then is shown would be the worn off paint near the foot pegs/frame area. But the bike looks quite nice. You could have done alot worse. Besides, if you take the time, it would appear that it should be a fairly easy resto. Nice bike regardless of the actual  details. Should be fun.

It looks pretty good for a 30 year old bike. Depending on how much you paid, would make it even sweeter. Have fun!!

Needless to say I most likely paid too much, as purchased from a dealer.  For the sake of sharing it was base $ 1,900 and with TTL and shipping $2,300.  Add another $650 in spares books, manuals, spares, NOS lights etc.  Doing mostly my own work I might get finished for around $4,500.   But we all know how projects go. 
 
But its not the money.  I just want to have a really nice Sherpa and intend to ride it 20 odd miles a day to work and back when the weather is reaonable and have some fun on the weekends.

Couple things.



Nice bike. Getting something that complete is a huge challenge and for a

restoration, worth the additional cost.



Odometer readings on bikes this old are suspect as best. That being said, 212

isn't out of the realm of possibilities. Frame paint will disappear if you look

at it too hard.



Seat is wrong. Mobleys should have a new one for you. No, it's not cheap.



Sherpas are less than ideal on the road. Hopefully the 20 miles you intend to

commute are all dirt, rocks and trees. :-)



And lastly, I'd replace the lower end seals. Especially if you have any problems

getting it to run right.

Looks decent. Seems to be about a model 80, 1972. Check toe first 2 digits (3 on later models) of the serial number on the frame neck and engine and go here to see the models:

The truth is, if you're are looking for cheap, go to Walmart. If you are looking for fun, vintage bikes are the way to go!! The fun to cost ratio is in your favor with vintage bikes, especially Bultaco's. Bultaco's are unique, and beautiful, parts and information is easy to come by and the cost is relatively inexpensive. I have several CZs, and no one has ever said they are beautiful, but when I uncover my Pursang it's a different story.

To this I will agree.  My wife knows nothing about motorcycles.  I have Huskys, Can Ams, Honda XRs, MT 125, etc.  When I brought home my 135 Pursang, she said, "Not that's a good looking bike."

Thanks for all the comments, it helps to know there are like minds out there. 

Especially the on the fun to $ ratio and the tech tips like seals.



Decision day + 6



Continuing the saga, bultaco.com did me proud NOS lights wiring loom etc.  (with

original stickers on).  Bill turned into $ 745.  I was very pleased to get NOS

and will continue until I get all NOS parts.



Also surprising the license plate turned up which makes it street legal,

assuming that I get it started and can ride it to the local inspection place.



One more pic of the parts uploaded, should be a good weekend, already warned the

wife I am going to be playing in the garage over the holiday break.

Just found an oval tank sticker,



It says Sammy Miller Replica Winner 1965 67-68 Scotish Six day Trial.



Would this explain the period after market parts?  Does any one know if a Sammy

miller edition of an M91 existed?
