Motorcycle Overview
The Bultaco Sherpa T 350 is one of the most influential trials motorcycles ever built. By the early 1970s, Bultaco had already revolutionized the trials scene with lightweight, purpose-built machines, and the 1973 Sherpa T 350 continued that legacy. With its torquey two-stroke engine, nimble chassis, and competition-focused design, it became a dominant force in trials riding and remains a sought-after classic today. Design & Build The Sherpa T 350 had a minimalist, function-over-form approach, with an ultra-lightweight frame (around 200 lbs), a slim fuel tank, and high ground clearance for navigating obstacles. The long-travel suspension (for the era) and wide handlebars gave riders maximum control, while the classic red and silver paint scheme with Bultaco?s signature blue and white logo added to its charm. Engine & Performance Engine: 326cc air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke Power Output: 20 hp (estimated) Transmission: 5-speed manual What set the Sherpa T apart was its perfect balance of power and control. The low-end torque made technical riding easier, allowing riders to tackle steep climbs and tight turns without excessive clutch work. The two-stroke engine was relatively smooth, with a predictable powerband that rewarded finesse over brute force. Handling & Ride Quality With a wheelbase of about 51 inches, the Sherpa T 350 was extremely agile. The soft suspension absorbed impacts well for the time, and the low center of gravity helped with stability on uneven terrain. Braking came from drum brakes on both ends?not the strongest, but sufficient for slow-speed trials riding. Where the Sherpa T truly excelled was precision control. Whether balancing on a rock, hopping over logs, or creeping up a near-vertical incline, the bike responded predictably, making it a favorite for serious trials riders.
