= Greeves-Enfield. A special made using a Greeves chassis and a Royal Enfield (Bullet) engine.

The most famous of hybrids being the Triton (Triumph-Norton)

Other well known hybrids include:

NorVin
NorBSA
TriBSA

Below is a photo that I took of a TriGreeves at the 2005 Fenman Show:

This one (also seen at the 2005 Fenman Show) could be known as a Norwasaki ? Or should that be Kawaton?

Hi,
Yeah this is my bike. The front fork is greeves(1957) and the 500 motor was redone by greeves to punch up to 535.
The rest is enfield india 1977 but the inside has been replaced with english parts.
One hell of a punch , but you really have to know how to start her up ; or break a leg !
The headlight is triumph.
A right !"£%^% of a bike ! ! ( but such a thrill )
