This stunning custom Buell X1 Lightning by Sartorie Meccaniche is aptly named Belva after the Italian word for wild beast. A seamless blend of British style, Italian flavour and American power, the Belva is a cafe racer with minimal design and timeless appearance.

The bike features a custom rear end, a fibreglass Norton endurance fuel tank and pump, as well as a more aggressive riding position up front. bike that’s over a decade old can be born again into something fierce. In keeping with the retro theme, even the electronic injection has been ditched in favour of a single carburettor. Let us know what you think!
