Moto Guzzi Supernaturale – Motorcycle Art by Hugo Eccles
Moto Guzzi excellence
We featured Untitled Motorcycles award-winning custom back in 2017. One benefit of being personal friends with builders and photographers is that we sometimes get access to special projects or collaborations. In this particular case, I am friends with both the builder and photographer. I had been sitting on these stunning photos from Erik Jutras, aka @mrpixelhead, for some…
Moto Guzzi V9 Scrambler by Moto Studio
Moto Sutdio's V9 Pro Build
Moto Studio’s Bruce McQuiston is normally a café racer type of guy. But his hometown of Miami is not really built for café racer living; the roads are less than perfect, and the traffic is dense. In that type of urban environment, a café racer simply doesn’t appeal to comfortable riding needs.
Regardless of what type of bike is perfect to take on Miami in comfort,…
Moto Guzzi Airtail Cafe Racer by Death Machines of London
Repurposing a 1981 LeMans MK2
Death Machines of London, you say? The founders of DMOL feel it should be fairly obvious what they do (hint: its custom motorcycles). So, on their website instead of wasting everyone’s time with "marketing bollocks", they break down where their unique name came from. Sitting comfortably?
When he was twelve, Death Machines of London founder James Hilton’s…
Craig Rodsmith’s turbocharged Moto Guzzi V9 Pro Build
A stunning turbocharged Moto Guzzi
Craig Rodsmith is a man that needs to introduction these days. The Aussie native relocated to Chicago, IL (God knows why) and has been churning out stunning builds on American soil for years. We first got to know him when we were blown away by his 1969 Moto Guzzi Ambassador dustbin at the 2017 Handbuilt Motorcycle Show. He came back in 2018 with another…
Brutal custom Moto Guzzi GTM-01
by GT MotoCycles
A powerful and raw Moto Guzzi
Words and photos by GT MotoCycles
Messing with a legend is taking the bull by the horns. But that’s exactly the challenge accepted by Todd Eagan of GT MotoCycles in building the seriously stripped-down and brutally efficient GTM-01 for attacking apexes and delivering the sort of visceral thrill that unites riders, and respects both the iconic past and a unique…
‘Master of Endurance’ Vanguard Moto Guzzi V850 Le Mans

Moto Guzzi cafe racer goodness by BAAK Motorcyclettes
Oh là là! A French-built Moto Guzzi cafe racer
The popular Moto Guzzi V7 comes in a variety of trim levels. From their standard V7 Stone to some tasty limited-editions, depending on your tastes, there's likely a V7 for you! My favorite is the Moto Guzzi cafe racer, known as the V7 Racer. While the V7 Racer does come pretty tidy bike out of the box, aesthetically speaking, sometimes a few…
Vintage Moto Guzzi V7 Special 750 ‘Lama Nera’ by Ruote Fiere
A drool-worthy vintage Moto Guzzi V7
Vintage Guzzis, or dare I say all Guzzis, seem to be picking up some steam and general interest again here in the states. Or that could just be me. Italian-based Ruote Fiere first caught my eye when EXIF shared their Sazuka Endurance Racer, which I instantly loved. Ruote Fiere's vintage Moto Guzzi V7 Special 750 'Lama Nera' equally stole my heart.
With…

Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber by Moto Strada
A beautiful V9 Bobber in the UK
There's no shortage of custom Guzzis out there, with many of them being vintage variations. Moto Guzzi has a new model that seems to have not yet been fully exploited by the customizing world yet; the V9. The 750cc V7 is a far more common platform but the 850cc V9 range consisting of two models, the V9 Bobber and the V9 Roamer, which both seem to be great…
1975 Moto Guzzi 850T ‘Supernaturale’ by Untitled Motorcycles

Friend of The Bullitt, Hugo Eccles of Untitled Motorcycles San Francisco had let us know he was working on a custom Guzzi to be debuted at the Quail but had only teased us with a tank shot a while back.

Moto Guzzi cafe racers by Holographic Hammer
We've been big fans of Sylvain Berneron, better known under the guise of Holographic Hammer, for years. Over the years, we've shared some of his Ducati and Triumph cafe racer illustrations. Lately, we've been toying around with doing a Guzzi build and low and behold, Holographic Hammer has been teasing us with some killer mock ups.
The title image as well as the two…
Moto Guzzi V9 X-Track Scrambler
Falling in love with a concept: the Moto Guzzi V9 X-Track
Moto Guzzi had a handsome display at this year’s recent EICMA show in Milan. There, the manufacturer from Mandello del Lario was debuting a new V7 III model, in a handful of variations like their V7 III ‘Anniversario’ or their new V7 III Racer, a cafe racer inspired variation now equipped with Öhlins rear suspension. I’m definitely a fan…
Cafe Racer Dreams’ Moto Guzzi V7 Stone
Simple and clean - just the way we like it!
The boys at Cafe Racer Dreams in Spain recently finished up a new build, using a Moto Guzzi V7 Stone as a base. This isn't a insane build with a laundry list of custom work but everything added, and everything removed was intentional and with purpose.
The Guzzi was given a scrambler-style treatment with a definite vintage feel by way of the…

1974 Laverda SFC by Moto Borgotaro
A spotless 1974 Laverda 750 SFC
Peter Boggia is a native New Yorker and operates a small motorcycle workshop called Moto Borgotaro in Brooklyn. The name, Borgotaro—which comes from the village in Italy Boggia traces his family tree to—is a nod to the Old World sense of value and tradition the shop aspires to. Boggia's level of restorations (or customs) is simply amazing.
I was at a Union…

The Handbuilt Motorcycle Show 2019
Keeping it weird in Austin
Walking down the boulevard on a sticky-warm April evening in Austin, TX, electric scooters zip by as drunk college-types sloppily navigate towards their next watering hole, we finally see the sign: The Handbuilt Motorcycle Show at the Austin American-Statesman. We’ve made it. Inside the walls of this now defunct newspaper facility is one of the largest, if not THE…
