1966 Bridgestone DT175 Twin Cylinder

Bridgestone 1966 DT175 Twin cylinder, utomatic oil injection,twin carbs, ual transmissions, ual rotary valve engine. Manufactured in the 60's by BRIDGESTONE TIRE CO. As the legend is told, ith the success of Honda in the American market, ridgestone Tire Co. decided to enter the motorcycle craze by manufacturing a twin cylinder, wo stroke that was a very innovative bike for its' time! Twin cylinder, win carbs, totally enclosed) twin transmission, 4 speed for city and 5 speed for hwy. automatic oil injection, o more mixing. After 5-6 years, o told, onda, amaha, nd Kaw. went to Bridgestone and said " we are buying all our bike tires from you, ow do we need to build our own tire plant or do you want to be in the motorcycle or tire business!" So Bridgestone phased out the motorcycle production, he bikes were built in their tire plants and they had never developed the dealerships like Honda. They were innovative bikes for their time, hrome cylinders, ore chrome on the bikes, an be started in gear, tc.

This is a early 1966 DT175 model that was found in storage since 79' or 80'. The 175 was equal to the Honda 350 in power and take off! The bike is quick! It is an all original bike as found with the following exceptions,I cleaned itup, nstalled new battery, lugs, hanged the fluids etc. and got it to running. Tires are old and need replaced! I replaced the seat cover, he foam, adding and underlining cover were in excellent shape. I have had bike at 70+ MPH and it gets up quick! but with old tires and an old man....well they don't mix. Lights work HI/LOW, xcellent brakes, aillight, rake lights, orn and is a great handling bike!

THE BAD: (1) I am not a two-stroke guy, o my abilities are limited! (2) The bike does smoke on the right side (its' 2 stroke) and blow a little oil out the right pipe. From researchon excellent site for these bikes, Richard's Relics -Bridgestone" the old school guys tell me that it is the rotary seal that is letting oil by-pass from the crank case, n easy fix so they say. I will include a new seal for the buyer.

I will include a copy of a 1966 DT175 owners manual, Bridgestone service manual, parts manual, arts catalog manual, arious service letters, lymer service manual for the DT 175.

Sold on a BILL OF SALE w/original title still in original owners name. Shipping is on the buyer but I will assist your shipper. NO WARRANTY implied, xpressed, onsented orally, erbally or shape form or fashion, old AS IS, HERE IS!
