This is my latest work, a '91 Moto Guzzi 750. It was a Nevada custom bike, but now she wants to race for real.

Reborn to race, hard. She carries all her scars with her, marks of time proudly on show.

Like a ghost she morphs, changing shape and character. She has no colour, her livery dissolves into the air, but her warning roar alerts you, rushes at you and looks for the road. She looks for freedom. This is the Phantom 750.

Chapter 02 — The stance

Improved
chassis

A new stance was worked out by moving the rear shocks and raising the front forks through the yokes.

Handmade clip-on handlebars with 5° inclination and visible welds.

A vintage tank modified by hand and a removable sheet metal tail worked by hand. The rear light is housed in the cut and rebuilt frame.

Chapter 04 — Two souls

Café racer
or brat

The Phantom is born a single-seat café racer, to run free and take on bends with ease thanks to the improved chassis, but just remove 4 screws and an elastic strap to turn it into an elegant, comfortable two-seater brat, without losing style or personality.

the next one

Phantom was born from a custom that wanted to race. If you have a bike sitting in the garage or just an idea in your head, that is always where it starts.
