nzcarnerd ◊ 2011-07-29 12:18	The reason I could not work out whther it was a Suzuki or a Yamaha was because it is a Bridgestone 350 from the 1966-70 period. Because it is something of an orphan is probably the reason why it is in the collection in the TV series. -- Last edit: 2011-07-29 12:18:48

Except it isn't a Bridgestone, they were always disc valve engines and had a more pointed tank. That's a 1967 Yamaha YR 1
