The Bridgestone 175 Hurricane was the street scrambler version of the 175 Dual Twin, fitted with high level exhausts. Wikipedia describes the Dual Twin as a twin cylinder two-stroke whose engine was virtually a doubling up of the 90 cc engine, with rotary valves controlling the inlet and a separate tank for oil injection. The Bridgestone Registry history calls the 175 Hurricane, together with the 350 GTO, a cosmetic update of an existing model rather than a new design, one of the street scramblers that appeared in the late 1960s as Bridgestone's interest in motorcycles was declining. The pages read do not give its production dates, so that fact is left open here.
