Today’s special bike was spotted at the recent Motor Bike Expo in Verona, Italy, and is called “Meravigliosa Creatura” (”Wonderful Creature” in Italian).
This motorcycle was specifically designed to impress the crowd in Verona and is based on a Ducati 749, definitely not the best looking Ducati model we have seen in recent years.
Still, this Meravigliosa Creatura is simply gorgeous and – looking closely – it is not difficult to spot some revealing details about which model it actually derives from (see the line of the tank and the exposed trellis frame).
This bike has been conceived and built by the good people from South Garage Cafe – a well-grounded Italian company based in Caggiano, next to Salerno – but it is not the first 749-based project they’ve ever done.
In fact, the Meravigliosa Creatura uses a lot of the solutions that were used for their previous ‘A’ Pascal’ project, which had a matt black livery with a big piece of fairing at the front.
In an attempt to give it a more ‘vintage’ feel, the team led by Signor Martinez made a few changes (the most notable of which is the addition of a head light courtesy of Baites) and asked specialist Ivan Design to provide it with a Triumph Gray/Kendy Reddish Purple paint-job that includes white inserts and an awesome and ultra-classy ‘certificate of authenticity’ on the tail.
This Wonderful Creature is light, powerful, fast and beautiful.
The job done by South Garage Cafe is just outstanding and perfect in every little detail: check it out for yourself in our photo gallery.
