1968 Bridgestone HS175 Hurricane Scrambler

In the bustling town of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, nestled in the heartland of the United States, there resides a timeless piece of Japanese motorcycle history: a 1968 Bridgestone HS175 Hurricane Scrambler. Manufactured nearly six decades ago, this vintage bike is not just a relic from the past but a testament to Bridgestone's engineering prowess in their formative years during the 1960s. Distinctively painted in a rich coat of red, it sports a powerhouse 177cc two-stroke parallel twin engine paired with a versatile dual-mode four- or five-speed transmission, a feature that was unusually forward-thinking for its time. Having been meticulously recommissioned by the current owner in late 2024, this Hs175 boasts a slew of replacement parts such as the chain, battery, and intake boots, while also seeing to the servicing of its fuel system and brakes. Currently situated at latitude 40.274 and longitude -80.1538, this Hurricane Scrambler is more than a collectable, it's a living example of Japan's contribution to global motorsport history during the era when Bridgestone was still finding its feet in the two-wheeler market.
