Maschine 19


Machine 19 Guzzi 850T basis, 1000ccm, 76hp, 187kg yesteryear Kaffemachine Custom Motorcycles.
Clear, classic too amongst the exceptional elegance of technical perfection: Machine nineteen i time over again demonstrates the bully expertise of Axel Budde alias java maker from Hamburg.


Machine nineteen is a motorbike from the abode java machine. Behind this is the Hamburg-based Axel Budde, who has been setting upwards vivid Moto Guzzi-Café Racer for several years too is regarded equally a bully primary of his guild. Budde's motorcycles are e'er real puristic, which is non the pure move, is taken away. Everything else, live it the frame, the brakes, armatures, bowden cables, ability render too hence on, goes through a meticulous examine to encounter if too how it tin live improved. This is non but most role or lightweight construction. The aesthetics play a decisive role inward all java machines!


This bike has built Budde for himself. It is not, equally usual, based on a "Le Mans", but from a large number of parts of the large Moto Guzzi kit. The frame comes from a 850 T, engine too transmission from a thou SP, swingarm from a Le Mans III, forepart brake from a V7 850 GT too hence on. The number is a surprisingly elegant too straightforward motorcycle. With its classic Tourer silhouette, the slim tank, the nostalgic headlights, the drum brakes too the erstwhile Volvo Amazon varnish "Skiffer blå" machine nineteen could come upwards direct from the 1960s. And indeed the motorbike reminds real strongly of the vehicles that the creative individual Hergé drew inward his immortal Tintin comics. The "Ligne claire", equally the drawing trend of the genius Belgian, is also establish inward the graphic symbol of this Moto Guzzi: uniqueness inward the construction, absolute accuracy inward detail, precise contours too a apartment monochrome coloration. Oh yes, Hergé would receive got liked this bike amongst certainty.


The details are non the details

"The details are non the details. They brand the design! "The saying of the designer Charles Eames must also live the model of the Hamburg screwdriver, equally tin live seen yesteryear the illustration of the brakes for machine nineteen alone. The utilization of the 2 duplex drums is reminiscent of the V7 Sport, but it has non been given inward this combination at whatsoever Moto Guzzi. For this purpose, the lever machinery of the bring upwards brake of Axel Budde was turned upside down, hence that the depression carbon Bowden cable could live seat equally far equally possible invisible. The (too) tight Le Mans II fork had to live reworked for the thick drum i time again. And hence the newly installed electrics, the self-made tank, novel lite switch, novel handlebar andandundund ... In summa an irrwitziger, but unavoidable effort, because: "The details are non the details."


Living metal

The metallic element surfaces of the motorbike are actually bewitching. From the radiant chrome of the fork tubes to the silky shimmer of the bring upwards mirror housing to the matt silvery grayness of the drum brakes too the crankcase, the entire gloss spectrum appears to live establish on the unpainted components. Bud's utilization of this surface complete was enormous. Stainless steel parts were pre-nickel plated too hence blasted amongst drinking glass beads. Aluminum was blasted begin amongst drinking glass beads, hence amongst VA balls too finally polished. But the seek was undoubtedly worth it. Machine nineteen comes amongst a sturdy understatement too does non seem to live "over-polished" similar hence many restored bikes. The naturalness of its metallic element surfaces makes the motorbike come upwards live too has a bully bargain of its exceptional magic too elegance.
