Here's what one leading motorcycle magazine
said when they tested the 350 GTR: "The
engine/transmission unit is fantastic ...
It is so good, in fact, that only a real
technician can fully appreciate all the
details." Another said this, "As
big and as fast as any 500—and considerably
faster than most." Six speeds, 40 HP,
oil injection, dual rotary valves are only
part of the story. Your Bridgestone dealer
will show you a host of design innovations
that make the 350 GTR unlike anything you've
ever seen or ridden. |
