The Collection…
Racing motorcycles of this pedigree are usually only seen in static displays, private collections or museums. Our mission is to deliver a direct experience - the sounds, aura and aromas of these machines brought to life on the racetrack and used as intended. Racing priceless one-off works motorcycles may seem sacrilegious to some, but here at Team Obsolete we believe that race bikes, no matter how rare, were created to RACE!
Fulfilling this mission has been the lifelong work of team founders Rob Iannucci and Sonia Ewers. It’s been no small feat scouring the earth for these precious machines, procuring them and amassing the troves of lost, forgotten and closely guarded secrets to their engineering and performance. Pairing this passion with an elite team of artisans, mechanics and engineers, Team Obsolete works unrelentingly to return these rare motorcycles to peak condition for exhibitions and races across the globe.
The following is a small portion of the Grand Prix racers in the team stable, and as time allows we will add additional bikes and info. Enjoy.
