One owner, original unrestored Bridgestone 350 GTR, what a beauty!

Would be fantastic bike in any collection

This one is in my neighborhood. I’d be all over it if i wasn’t currently finishing up a 71 350 gto, it’s street scrambler sibiling. I’ve got 4 bridgestones right now. The build quality and engineering that went into them is great.

I love them! A friend has one just like the one on Ebay in his basement and a rider in his garage.

They’re great. The only weak point on the gto/gtr is chrome lined cylinders like a Guzzi and clutch plates. The original dry clutch fibers become brittle and break. There was a run of them made a few years ago and they were expensive. Richards Relics has pretty much everything nos still available for most Bridgestone models.

Amazing.  Nice little touring bike.  To think some people hang onto their machines for 50+ years it's unbelievable.

10 bids, $2100 coins,,several days to go

Neat subset of the motorcycle world...similar is a KZ400 on cycle trader app with factory color matched fairing, bags, rear view rack, combo sissy bar....w black vinyl pad, of course! Been there....forever.

Beautiful bike thanks Canuck !

It may have had several days to go, but its gone. How do you end an auction early when you have 10 bids?

I'm getting misty. T500, RD 400 in the basement. I had the same bike betwixt an RD350 and RD400. Gadzoox those bags look awful; especially on that pretty bike. During the 60 - 70's I would ride to the races @ Daytona ~ every other year. One year it was the Bridgestone. 4" of slush on the Garden State Pwy & Jersey Pike; almost to Delaware. 2 times a friend on his Gold Star, out of DC would join me.  Maniacal, yes. Huge fun, too. Just remember the good stuff.  R3~
