Vintage Greeves Motocross Motorcycles

Greeves Motorcycles Ltd, a British motorcycle manufacturer, produces motorcycles mainly for the trials and off-road market. Richard Deal bought the Greeves name in May 1999. The original company had been producing motorcycles since 1952. After many wins in motorcycle trials competitions, the original company ceased trading in 1977. The new company continues to develop motorcycles and launched the first new Greeves Trials Bike for 20 years in January 2009.
The original company was founded by Bert Greeves. Greeves had the idea of fitting the lawnmower engine to his disabled cousin's wheelchair and invented the Invacar. Bert Greeves decided to diversify into motorcycle manufacture. Bert, an enthusiastic motorcyclist in his youth, had always an ambition to become a motorcycle manufacturer. The first Greeves motorcycle was developed in mid-1951, using rubber-in-torsion springing - front and rear. Rear wheel suspension was by a pivoted fork with rods connecting to torsion rubber mounted units just below the seat. Friction dampers were also fitted which could be manually adjusted. The front forks had short leading links to carry the wheel, pivoting on rubber-in-torsion spring units (later known as the 'Banana Leading Link' front fork.
Motorcycle production began in the autumn of 1953 with three models, a scrambler, a three speed road bike and a four-speed version. At the 1954 Earls Court Show, they also launched the 'Fleetwing', a two-cylinder two-stroke with a 242 cc British Anzani engine. With a top speed of just 61 mph (98 km/h), the Fleetwing continued in production until 1956.
By 1962 the Greeves range had eleven models. Offroad motorcycles were developed, producing the later Greeves QUB model. The Challenger models was produced in 1968 and replaced by the 250 and 380 cc Griffon motocrossers in 1969. It was off-road competition that dominated Greeves production.
In 1963 the Greeves range still included the 25DC Sports Twin and two new models with glass fibre tanks and plastic mudguards - the 25DD 'Essex' and the 250 DCX 'Sportsman'.
Greeves made a successful entry into road racing with the 250 cc Silverstone model. These were not as fast as some of their competitors, but they earned a reputation for reliability. In 1967, a 346 cubic centimetres version of the successful Challenger was launched, together with a 350 cc road racer called the 'Oulton'. A special export model called the 'Ranger' was developed but by 1968 Villiers had pulled out of engine production. Greeves decided to leave the trails motorcycle market and concentrate on the development of a motorcross model.
When the Japanese entered the market place from 1970 to 1973 - sales began to slow. Greeves decided that it was time to retire from the business in 1976 and went into receivership after a factory fire.
In May 1999, a new Greeves company was founded in Chelmsford which restarted production of mainly trials models, and rebuilding Greeves Motorcycles from 2000. By 2009, the company had built 22 Greeves Anglian motorcycles and four Greeves Pathfinders, as well as numerous restoration projects.
