UMC-023 SUPERNATURALE
1975 Moto Guzzi 850T
A minimalist café racer, the Supernaturale is 23% lighter than its original 1975 donor and the same dry weight as a Suzuki GSX-R750 superbike. The hand-formed aluminum fuel tank is a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic LeMans and encloses a state-of-the-art electrical system. Custom-engineered brackets and controls house an internal throttle system, integrated master cylinders and hidden switches.
