Moto Martin GS1000
History and Development
Originally built by Neil Russell, this replica Moto Martin endurance racer has been developed over 30 years to illustrate what might have been done had the 1000cc F1 class been retained after 1981,  combining "the best of British and the best of French" (Georges Martin, Classic Bol d'Or 2008). The bike was featured in Classic Bike magazine in July 2008.
