I know what you mean yes, but those mock-ups were done 3 to 4 years ago. I think they did use the back end design of his last 340 though and tidied it up a bit. The best thing they did, which is what I always wanted to do but lack the skill, was shorten the tank and move the seat forward. From '75, the Bultaco tanks were always too long.

Thanks gents, I was at a trial recently where Vesty was riding and his new bike is very nice - sounds very crisp!

He's moved the top of the shocks forward like this picture but also moved the bottom forwards too (to the hold thats in the swingarm on 198/199B swingarms).

What a long talk arm? and the rear silencer is pos on the other side, does not look to connect. I bet the top of the shocks would be wide just where you stand on the pegs. My shocks almost rub on the tyre so you could not angle them in. Tank seat combo looks good though.

Interesting bike, fork angle changed ?

Bigger stanchions ?

Expansion exhaust

Hydraulic clutch

Swinging arm pivot moved ?

Footrests moved

Mudguard loop cut

Shocks re-positioned

Swinging arm lengthened

Never noticed it before but tank does look to big

Any pictures of the other side please

Look at the pipes attached to the rear shocks too.
