Hagon BSA 441cc Grasstrack Racing Motorcycle Project
Frame no. none visible
Engine no. B44R 605

Alf Hagon was an exponent in both Speedway and Grasstrack racing during the 1950s and 60s, and it seemed a natural step for him to use the experience he gained to manufacture bikes and parts for other riders to use. Hagon made anything from single components to complete machines, for both disciplines, although possibly more for Grasstrack bikes. The project offered here is typical of the machines raced in Grasstrack, which may have been built by an individual using their own engine; in this case a BSA B44 engine (stamped 'Jamie' near the engine number) has been utilised. It was acquired by the vendor some years ago, and whilst the bike has not been used since that time, it has been kept in good, dry storage. No key is required, and there is no documentation for this machine, which is sold strictly for restoration, and buyers should satisfy themselves as to its completeness, or otherwise, and the compatibility of its constituent components.
