Moto Martin is a French engineering firm established by Georges Martin, known for creating racing frame kits influenced by motorsport and the café racer aesthetic. The company's initial frame designs were significantly inspired by the innovations of Fritz Egli. In addition to frames, Moto Martin manufactured wheels and body kits, eventually branching out into the production of kitcars.[1][2] During a time when many European motorcyclists found custom modifications financially inaccessible, Georges Martin capitalized on the kit car segment.[2] Among its distinguished models is the KZ900 Turbo.[3] The 1987 issue of Cycle World commended Moto Martin for its "superior build quality that elevates them above most other frame producers."[4] Comparisons have been drawn between Moto Martin and other notable brands like Bimota, Harris, and Nico Bakker.[5][6][7]
