1974 Bultaco Sherpa T 250 and 350 motorcycle brochure w/ photos & specs

1974 Sherpa T - "The best for the best". Scottish Six Days Trials, European Championships, Championships in England, Spain, France, USA, etc... they speak for themselves of a machine. But Bultaco demands much from the Sherpa T before offering it to the trials enthusiast. In the '74 model you will appreciate the light and efficient brakes, both when wet and dry, the precise steering, the light and rigid frame, and a smooth and silent engine with a wide power band. Two words speak for the Sherpa T, "The satisfaction of the exigent".

1981 Can-Am Qualifier IV Endurocrosser Photo & Specs Brochure

Take a close look at any top enduro rider's bike. Chances are what you'll see isn't an enduro bike at all, but a converted motocrosser. For good reason. Production enduro bikes, traditionally, are a rung down on the technology ladder. This year's tricks get built into the motocrosser. The enduro line gets them next year. Maybe. But top riders don't have time to wait. They need this year's technology, now. And they have the backing to get what they need. At Can-Am we thought seriously about that. We thought that there are probably a lot of riders around with the talent to take advantage of a superb motocross suspension and a storm-trooping enduro engine. But without the resources to put them together themselves. So we built it for you. We call it The Endurocrosser. When you set out to break with tradition, you might as well begin at the beginning. So we started designing our new Qualifier IV Endurocrosser from the frame up....Can-Am - We Will Win You
