Saracen motorcycles were produced between 1967 and 1975, fby Robin Goodfellow of Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
The main products were mainly trials machines fitted with a 125cc Sachs engines but a motocross version was produced in the latter years. The result was a kit that was of high quality and well made with a good Reynolds tube frame. Although successful, the machines were expensive and the company lost money so went into liquidation in August 1971. David Brand bought the firm and added larger engines that turned out to be less suitable for trials use. By then the Spanish marques were flooding the market and Saracens market had dried up.
