  1969 BULTACO TSS 360CC TSS WORKS RACER
• Notes:
  Ginger Malloy rode this works racing machine to a celebrated 5th place at the 27km Nurburgring long track. The bike was also raced in Grands Prix and International series races throughout the 1969 season and culminated in a sensational 2nd place in the 1970 World Championship 500cc class (confirm classification) with 62 points. In the 1990's, the bike was updated with an alloy fuel tank, Ignitek ignition; self-generation advance / retard function; a new 4 transfer cylinder and cylinder head with modern internal shape. Also fitted was a Wisco piston and a 44mm Mikuni round slide carburettor. The bike is set to run on methanol and the needle jet and main jets can be supplied to convert to run on race fuel if required. The engine has been dyno tested and runs 66hp at the rear wheel at 9,000rpm. The bike has fully adjustable rear shocks and Ohlins steering damper, Cereani front forks and new top and bottom yokes to the front forks so it turns more like a modern bike. The bike also has front disk brakes, master cylinder and caliper. A new crankshaft from a Frontera, new 6 speed gearbox and clutch from Nova in the UK finish off a professional and exacting rebuild. The bike has been professionally painted and will be supplied with a range of front and rear sprockets.
