Text of Ad:

The Mercurio is easygoing. But when you goose its throttle, the engine snarls and you get 18 horses. The front wheel gets light; the speedo needle jumps to 80 mph.

The engine is rugged and reliable. Needle, roller, and ball bearings keep spinning. The racing piston, with two Dykes rings, rides inside a superhard iron liner.

The handling is what you'd expect from a Bultaco. You get precision-matched frame, steering, and suspension. The 17" wheels give you extra control on the go.

The colors: candy-red or deep blue, with silver trim. The price starts at $515, fob distr. The Mercurio: a lot of motorcycle. See your Bultaco dealer today.
