The history of grass track motorcycle racing is almost as old as motorcycles themselves. Starting in the 1920’s – that’s nearly 100 years ago folks! – it took place on a simple track constructed in fields at the time between haymaking and harvesting.

While the design of the Suzuki Grass Tracker doesn’t hark back quite that far, it does owe a lot to the trials bikes of the seventies. That’s not to take anything away from it in terms of performance, however. The Grass Trackers are a brilliant bike either for commuting or for throwing around country lanes, as well as taking trips a little off-piste. Their low riding position and wide handlebars make them easy to control, even for riders of shorter stature - the design also gives them a very particular look, perhaps best described as retro with attitude. They’re also great for hooking on the back of a motorhome.

This one is the slightly larger variant – the Grasstracker Big Boy. The hweels are 19 inch (front) and 18 inch (rear) as opposed to the standard Grasstracker’s 18 and 17 inches; there is 40mm more ground clearance; the seat is 1.5 inches higher and the overall length is 150mm longer. This gives it that little bit more presence without making it difficult to control. It also has kick start as well as electric start.

We are particularly proud of this find. Grass Trackers, being very accessible and popular when they first came out has, rather surprisingly, made good examples hard to find now. Many have been ridden very hard or badly looked after. Not so this little gem. The paint on the tank is as lustrous as it ever was and the metalwork looks gorgeous. Combine that with its light weight, lovely twin shock rear suspension and superb power delivery and you have a highly desirable bike with a very reachable price tag.
