I got this photo from the Japanese Vintage Motorcycle page on Facebook.
Apparently, it's a 1962 Olympus 370cc triple ???
The blurb with it suggested that Olympus was an obscure early Japanese motorcycle manufacturer & this particular model never actually went into production.
The forerunner perhaps of our triples as we know them ?
That motor reminds me strongly of the Ariel Arrow/Leader - and if you add 1 cylinder to a 250 then that would make a 370. The Japs of that period were taking a lot of, err, "inspiration" from external sources.

JP ... is this where you got the idea for the 'larger touring' fuel tank
lovely bike, first time I see a picture even if I know it.
Have picture of the Olympus 250 twin and yes it's the same maker which do cameras.
Rog, like the tank too.
