The Bridgestone 60 was an enlarged 60 cc version of the Bridgestone 50 cc model, introduced in 1966. Wikipedia reports an engine output of 5.8 bhp, compared with 4.2 bhp from the 50 cc machine. It belonged to the two-stroke range of the motorcycle division of the Bridgestone tyre company, which stopped making motorcycles in 1970. The Bridgestone Registry history adds that the manufacturing rights and tooling for the 60 cc and 100 cc range of singles were then sold to BS Tailung of Taiwan, a company with no connection to the original Bridgestone Cycle Company, which went on building trail and mini bikes for the United States market using Bridgestone engines until the mid-1970s.
