The Bridgestone 350 GTR was a standard motorcycle built by the motorcycle division of the Japanese tyre maker Bridgestone from 1967 until 1971. It used an air-cooled 345 cc two-stroke straight-twin engine with rotary disc-valve induction, one Mikuni carburettor per cylinder, and a six-speed gearbox whose pedals could be swapped to suit a left or right foot. The chassis was conventional, with a steel twin-cradle frame, drum brakes and 19 inch wheels. Its price was close to that of a much larger Triumph Bonneville, so only about 9,000 were built, and it was the last motorcycle Bridgestone made before the company left motorcycle manufacture to protect its tyre business. Reviewers have generally praised its engine, gearbox and brakes.
