Bridgestone Homer

The Bridgestone Homer, given as the BS-50 Homer in the Bridgestone Registry history, was the step-through version of the Bridgestone 50 cc Champion line. Wikipedia says it was introduced when the Champion was marketed in the United States as the Bridgestone Super 7, and the Registry history places it beside the 1962 Champion-III, which was sold in America by Rockford Motors, the importer that began handling Bridgestone machines in 1963. The Champion it accompanied had a pressed steel frame and a fan-cooled 50 cc two-stroke engine with a three-speed gearbox. The sources read name the Homer only in passing and give no separate engine data or production years for it, so those facts are left open here.
