CLASSIC CAFE RACER MOTORCYCLE - Moto Guzzi Le Mans 850 Custom Build | The Classic Motorcycle Channel

In this video we take a look at Nick Sharp's outstanding CLASSIC CAFE RACER MOTORCYCLE which is based loosely on the Moto Guzzi Le Mans 850. This is a detailed video on his build, please use chapters below to skip to the chapter that interests you.

This is not a cafe racer restoration, it's is fully custom cafe racer build which Nick has done from the ground up. This motorcycle has been featured in magazines, been on display at various events within the UK and is a thing of absolute beauty.

All of our videos are uploaded to YouTube and a smaller selection of videos are uploaded to Facebook and Instagram. YouTube is the best place to view our videos because they can be watched in 4K (a very high resolution) and they’re all there. Facebook and Instagram are good quality still (HD) but best for when you want to watch videos on your phone.

We also have a Facebook group called Classic Motorcycle Videos where we upload all the videos we like on YouTube from other channels. We watch a lot of videos on YouTube and it made sense to create a shortlist of great videos from the ones we find.
