Arter Special MK1 powered by a Matchless G50 engine. Last ridden by Michelle Duff to celebrate the 50th anniversary of theCanadian GP at Mosport. This is the very same bike ridden in that hard fought race landing Duff with a podium finish in front of the home crowd.

I must admit, the man was a fu***ng artist.
Team Obsolete is the world’s first and foremost Vintage Road Race Team. During twenty years of competition, Team Obsolete has entered more than eight hundred races worldwide and garnered twenty-two Daytona wins, sixteen AHRMA National Championships and is the only American Team to ever win the Isle of Man TT (1984). Other wins include French GP (Paul Ricard/Toulon), Assen (Holland), Brands Hatch (UK), Mallala (Australia), Pukekohe (New Zealand), La Carerra (Mexico) and Mosport (Canada) plus virtually every USA venue.
Team Obsolete's extensive stable of Historic motorcycles includes: the highly prized 1964 Honda 250/6, a screaming six cylinder, 18,000 rpm, 250 cc motorcycle (the only one of its kind in a private collection), the MV Agusta Works Racing 350/3, 500/3, 350/4, 500/4, 125/2, 125/1, and MV's last project, two extremely rare MV "Boxers". A Benelli 350/4, an AJS "Triple Knocker", and AJS Porcupine are just some of the other rare Grand Prix bikes in house. The "work horse" racing machines include, and an ex-Dick Mann BSA III. Through expert tuning skills, these vintage bikes are faster than ever and have won more than three hundred races.
In 1988, Team Obsolete culled the members of several vintage race clubs around the USA and formed the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) into a strong and self sufficient organization that now runs a 4,000 member, twenty race nationwide schedule. Team Obsoletes was the originator of the first AMA sanctioned Vintage Road Races at Daytona, Loudon, Mid-Ohio, Laguna Seca and Del Mar. Team Obsolete is in its second year of holding the AHRMA National Championship in 350 GP, and is promoting Vintage Races in the US, and is parading its exotic motorcycles around the world.
