Guess the identity of the rider/modifier of this 340 Bultaco Sherpa!
The photo was taken at the SSDT in the early eighties – yes we know which year, but do you know who the rider of this modified machine was?
Bultaco enthusiasts will straight away notice the larger alloy air-box, different mudguard stays, additional length mud-flap on the front mudguard, different tank filler cap, much modified clutch casing and operating arm location!

Answer: Walther Luft from Vienna modified this Bultaco Sherpa 340 in 1982, photo taken at the SSDT the same year by Ian Gibson, Newcastle.
John Reynolds?
Wasn’t JR on Suzuki then .
Steve wilson
Walter Luft 😉
Looking at the clutch it seems mounted in the same position of the puch engines! Is it possible? Happy new year Riccardo
