The Spanish Bultaco motorcycle brand produced small two-stroke bikes from 1958 until 1983. The name derived from founder Francisco ?Paco? Bulto, taking the first four letters of his surname and combining them with the last three of his nickname. Bultaco produced road and road race bikes but are best known for their off-road trail bikes. Their best-known model is the Sherpa, a lightweight, single-cylinder, two-stroke bike that made the British four-strokes obsolete in trails racing.
