Le Caffage: Ducati 848 by Apogee Motoworks

Los Angeles based cinematographer, Gustavo Pena of Apogee Motoworks, customized this 2009 Ducati 848.

The “Le Caffage” is a futuristic cafe racer which comes with an oversized gas tank with vintage café proportions.
The trellis frame was modified to keep to traditional lines, with a small, but comfortable seat. The twin exhausts was handcrafted in stainless steel. The headlight was customised and also houses the speedo. The LED light unit itself comes from a BMW i8.

The engine has been upgraded with NCR parts, including titanium valves, a slipper clutch, and a full set of titanium bolts and fasteners. The pistons are from Ferracci and the titanium connecting rods are from Pankl. The custom intake, was made in conjunction with specialists from Formula 1.
The lower spoiler is made of carbon fiber and closes the oil cooler and the engine parts. Many parts were powder coated like the trellis frame, swingarm and the forged Marchesini racing wheels with custom carbon huggers.
