C as in 700C is a leftover from an old french sizing system. Doesn't say much today. Sheldonbrown.com has nice writeup about tire sizing. It's better to stick with the ETRTO marking of diameter (in mm) and width (in mm). A 700C tire will be 622 x 23-38 mm. 23 mm width for a road bike, 38 mm for a hybrid.

What is the tire pressure for Bridgestone motorcycle tires?

the tire pressure for any tire, irregardless of manufaturer or application depends on how much load will be put on the tire and how it will be used. the pressure you should put in your bridgestone m/c tire is the same pressure you would put in any tire on that same bike. tire pressures are written on a sticker on the vehicle. ALWAYS follow that, NOT WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE tire.
