Hagon-Godden Long Track Racing Motorcycle
Hagon-Godden Long Track Racing Motorcycle
One of the most successful riders in grass track racing history, Don Godden won several British national championships and in 1969 became European Long Track Champion. A gifted engineer as well as talented rider, he designed and built his own DGS frames for the ubiquitous JAP engine and then – in 1975 – was one of the first to fit the new Weslake four-valve motor. In 1978 he went one step further, manufacturing his own overhead-camshaft four-valve engine - the GR500 - which made it possible to offer complete Godden DGS machines for speedway, grass-track, or long-track racing. Since then, Goddens have won countless races and championships worldwide, including the Speedway World Individual Championship on three occasions (Hans Neilsen in 1986, 1987 and 1989) and the World Long-track Championship twice (Shawn Moran in 1983 and Marcel Gerhard in 1992).
