Description
1960 Greeves Scottish Registration Number: YYW 476 Frame number 1791 Engine Number 2225H291F1329 The name Greeves is famous for competition machines in the 60s and 70s. The company was founded by Bert Greeves, producing a range of road and later competition bikes. Their trademark was cast beam downtube and rubber-in-torsion leading link forks, proved adaptable to almost all forms of motorcycles from the humble commuter to clubmans road racer, but it was the firm's off road products which really put Greeves on the map. The off-road range was extensively revised for 1958, gaining new frames with increased ground clearance, together with a narrower rear subframe and swinging arm. This 1960 model, fitted with the famous Villiers starmaker engine, has been with our vendor for over 20 years, and is described as in good running condition. Road registered, with current V5c, this would make the ideal motorcycle for classic trials events.
This bike will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees Motoring at the Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, on Sunday 25th February 2024. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
