Moto Guzzi from Kaffee-Maschine

.







Two years ago we published something like the best Guzzi racers ever... built by Axel Buddle from Hamburg Germany. Now Axel's workshop is open, and he will build your bike on order...









This custom cafe racer was built for an english customer- (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.
