The Bridgestone 200 Mach II was a 198 cc air-cooled parallel-twin two-stroke built by putting an overbored Dual Twin engine into Dual Twin running gear. It followed a 200 cc cafe racer prototype, the Mach I, shown at the 1966 Tokyo Motor Show but never produced. The Mach II was sold in RS (Road Sport) and SS (Street Scrambler) forms and kept the Dual Twin rotary induction and its Sport-Shift gearbox that could be flicked between two shift patterns. A 1971 SS is credited with about 21 hp and a dry weight of 124 kg, and for 1971 buyers could choose Imperial Gold or Sequoia Green. Production lasted until 1971, near the end of Bridgestone motorcycle manufacture. Wikipedia dates its start to 1967 and Motorcycle Classics to 1968.
