This bike here is very close to what I had at one time: A 1972 Bultaco Astro. This bike was a real bomb, in more ways than one. It was as fast as a rocket ship, but it blew up a lot! I had a hard time keeping it running, and purchased my Honda Elsinore shortly after I sold this beast. It handled like a dream, and was lightening fast, but it was broke more than I care to remember. As far as memories, good ones, but certainly not great ones. This bike was made in Spain, just like my Ossa Stiletto. Spanish bikes were not very reliable, at least not with me. I guess that's why both companies are out of business...
