| 2. Greeves 250cc Anglian Trials
|
| The Greeves Anglian was a benchmark for performance and reliability for a Trials machine. The Anglian was available with the standard leading link forks and/or for about $50.00 more, a Ceriani telescopic model was also available. Traditional Greeves riders preferred the leading link, while newer riders preferred the telescopic fork. |

| 3. Greeves 250cc Challenger 1967
|
| Greeves was by far the most popular off-road 2-stroke in America in the early 1960’s. With its Earl’s type forks and aluminum I-beam frame, Greeves was easily distinguished from other brands. This example, the 1967 Challenger was at the beginning of the end, so to speak in the popularity of the Greeves motorcycle. As motocross mania swept America, the lighter-weight Husky’s and CZ’s became the tool of choice. |

|
| Greeves partnered up and sponsored motocross racer Brian Stonebridge, gaining the exposure needed to effectively market the company. Sales started to rise, and Greeves stepped up the efforts even more. Dave Bickers gained their sponsorship, and in 1960 and 1961, he won the European championship on Greeves’ new 246cc bike |

| 11. Greeves Sportsman: A missed opportunity
|
| Even a passing glance at the Greeves "Sportsman" is a depressing experience. Everything about the bike is crude and amateurish, based on the bare minimum needed to scrape by rather than a credible attempt to produce a quality motorcycle. Viewed against contemporary opposition, the Greeves is of an appalling standard. Yet it need not have been so. |
