What a beautiful looking machine! This Moto Morini 350 K2 has been designed and built by Ad Hoc Cafe Racers from Barcelona, Spain. All the superfluous and unnecessary brackets have been removed from the frame to start with. The sub frame was then shortened and sent to be chromed. It’s a really nice change to see a chrome frame, most of the cafe racers I have featured in the last year have gone with black but this looks really cool. The engine has been stripped, cleaned up and painted, they have used a Europlast gas tank which looks fantastic. I love the square edges, it really gives the bike a unique and cool look. The seat was also from Europlast but had to be widened and shortened to fit the new frame.
AD HOC had a bit of a mission trying to get wheels for this build and said “to get spoked wheels was quite an ordeal, it was not easy to find a dual disc front hub. Eventually we adapted one of a Honda Transalp.” The wheels really give the bike a vintage look and go well with the chromed frame. The colours on the bike are unusual bike I really like them, solid colors are stone gray and cream. I’ve not featured many Moto Morinibefore but I’m finding more and more as I trawl through the internet and really do like what can be done with them.
Ad Hoc is the brain child of David and says “I grew up around bikes made in Spain, I have loved motorcycles since childhood and I like to shape my ideas, I have always looked at things differently and from an alternative view…” I really hope to see more of his work and I believe he has produced two new bikes which are on his website which will be well worth a look.
