In 1964, Bridgestone introduced a series of 90cc motorcycles – there were 9 different models based around 4 primary designs. One of the designs was the Mountain, and you can probably guess by the name that this was built to go off-road.
The Mountain’s engine produced 8 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and it was paired with a 4-speed transmission. It was claimed to be able to climb a 45 degree angle or have a top speed of 60 miles per hour, depending on which one of the selectable rear sprockets you had chosen. For more on the Mountaineer, check out this period review on Cycle World where they note that “everybody on the staff wanted to keep it, and in such a hard, critical and demanding crowd, this is high praise indeed.”
This example is being sold on a Bill of Sale only and it’s missing the automatic oil injection system so you’ll have to premix. Find this Bridgestone for sale in Eden Prairie, Minnesota for $1,000 or best offer here on Facebook Marketplace.
