Rickman - Petit Metisse Bultaco - 325 cc - 1973 Cl. The Pursang range was developed from machines built by the Rickman brothers, who worked closely with SeГ±or Bulto and from their efforts came the Bultaco Metisse, which became the Pursang Mk1. The brothers liked the engine, but not the chassis. La Bultaco Pursang fou un model de motocicleta fabricat per Bultaco entre 1967 i 1981, dissenyat especficament per a la prctica del motocrs.Al llarg de la seva vida comercial se'n produren diverses versions en cilindrades variades (des dels 125 fins als 400 cc), per b que les ms populars foren les de 250 i 370 cc. Despite his misgivings Don won the race and an agreement was reached whereby the Rickman brothers would build their own chassis to house the Bultaco engine. The result was the 250cc Bultaco Metisse which made its debut in 1964 and which was also known as theMestizo -the Spanish translation of Metisse, meaning 'of mixed blood'. The Rickman brothers built machines for the UK market while Bultaco built those to be sold elsewhere. Unfortunately, there were soon reports of the Spanish frames breaking as they were made of tubing inferior to that of the Reynolds 531 specified by the Rickman brothers. The agreement was curtailed in 1967, with the Rickman brothers unable to keep up with demand for their Metisse machines and so Bultaco introduced their own, simpler frame with a single down tube, as opposed to the duplex arrangement of the Rickman design. The new model was named the Pursang 'thoroughbred' in French, on account of its being manufactured entirely by Bultaco and despite their agreement having been broken Don Rickman gave the Pursang his seal of approval, successfully racing examples over several seasons. Bultaco has variously referred to it a Scrambler TT, Bultaco Metisse, and Pursang. Another mystery is exactly what to call this motorcycle.
