In twenty-five years, Greeves produced around 25,000-30,000 machines - a number considered relatively modest when compared with some of their contemporaries, such as Triumph. However, Greeves was not small in ambition or achievement, which is resoundingly illustrated in this new book. 'Greeves - The Complete Story' gives a detailed history from the early 1950s to the 1970s. With production histories and specification details for all main models, it is an ideal resource for anyone with an interest in these classic sporting motorcycles.
The book covers:
• Bert Greeves, Derry Preston Cobb and the formative years - from invalid carriages to motorcycle production in 1953
• Model-by-model specification guides for the main roadsters, scramblers, trials bikes and road racing bikes
• World-wide motorcycle sport success, including European Championship wins for Greeves scramblers in 1960 and 1961
• The final years - 1972-1979
• Advice on owning and restoring a Greeves model today
