cafe

This XV920 is making quite a splash…

Something about these Virago based customs that really get peoples juices flowing. The other one’s that I’ve posted are still some of the most viewed bike on the blog. I’m not sure who was the first one to post about it but I saw this on on Clsssified Moto But click around… everybody is talking about it.

BikeExif also did a good post about it early on Check them out! Hell be sure and visit them often!

A Stunning Cafe (or Kaffee) Moto Guzzi!

I´d be very happy if you´d post my latest project on your famous site.

This custom cafe racer was built for an english customer- John Purser (JP).
The donor bike was his old T3 California. The wasted fat lady was reborn as a skinny supermodel (180kg dryweight)- only the frame lost 3kg of needless metal.
The engine was modified to LM 850 specs, ALL components on the bike are handcrafted. I even modified the few aftermarket parts, to match the optics.
Shocks are Ikon, fork is of a Le Mans 3 with new tubes and FAC dampers. I built a minimal electrical system including a motogadget instrument, electronic ignition and dyna coils.

“Kaffeemaschine” (coffee machine) is my company, building unique cafe racers and bespoke bikes, based on the classic Guzzi V2-engine and frame.
I´d be very glad if you would mention and link my webside “www.kaffee-maschine.net“.

If you have any more questions or need more info, don´t hesitate to contact me.

Best regards from Hamburg/Germany,
Axel Budde

Congratulations on a beautiful build and thank you for the photos!

At the “split personality” Moto Guzzi Cafe.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find the right camera angle in the cramped area of the display to convey just how stunning this bike was in the flesh.

We have a little of this..

and a little of that..

Long live Italy!

I just love the “inspection” window.

Gorgeous..

Just sitting here at work on a break and thought I would send you a picture of a recent project of mine.

My wife got it for me as a 40th birthday present last fall. I came as a roller with all the parts in boxes. It’s a 1981 KZ1000 Police Special that I’ve turned into a café/rat bike that is just a blast to ride. Great blog and thanks for looking.
