Blue 325 Bultaco Mod 199?

[phobos31]

hi, i've just been registered on your forum...it looks nice...

i own a 1980 250 beamish suzuki,(i've just sold my 325 beamish), a 250 bultaco sherpa t80(1970), and i've just bought a 1978 325 bultaco mod 199...just an answer;

i was surprised because the bike was blue, i thought that all 199 models (not a or were red colored, i phoned to two bultaco parts sellers in france, who told me that a small quantity of this model were stock painted in blue....curious....

can anyone give me informations about that?...the tank is not painted, and even the side panels...

best regards from france.

Hi Nicolas,

My 199 has a blue plastic tank and blue frame. All original paint. First sold in So. California, not sure when. One of my friends also has a blue 199. What length shocks are you using?

Cheers,

Eddie
