The Bridgestone 350 GTR was an incredible model in its day, outperforming far larger capacity bikes and oozing with quality touches such as grease nipples on the cables, stainless mudguards and reversible foot controls. This GTR is a well known machine in VJMCC circles having been featured in various magazine articles including one of Classic Bike magazine's first tests of a Japanese bike in 1988 and more recently in the June 2017 issue. Unusually, Bridgestone had a third identification number as well as the normal frame and engine numbers, this one’s 'Serial Plate No.' being 21Q00115 making it one of the earliest known examples. It has survived in essentially original and unrestored trim showing a credible speedo reading of just 3,971 miles and is still fitted with its original rear shocks and DID stamped wheel rims. Only about 33 models were officially imported into the UK so this is a unique opportunity to acquire a rare collectible example. The bike has been stood in a private collection for a while so will need a new battery and some recommissioning before use but it turns over freely on the kickstart and the gears select. It comes supplied with a paperwork folder including copies of the magazine articles it has been featured in, a few old MOTs and a current V5C.
