Helmut Kassner (born 26 December 1946, in Dachau) is a German former professional Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. His best season was in 1974 when he won the 350cc and 250cc German Grand Prix.[1] The German round was boycotted by the top racers over safety concerns due to a lack of hay bales at the Nürburgring race circuit. He is the younger brother of Horst Kassner.
