Recast Moto's Guzzi Nevada 750 is a Night Prowler
Recast Moto is the first custom motorcycle builder from Belarus to be featured on our platform, and the Guzzi Nevada 750 scrambler the workshop built proves exactly why Minsk deserves a place on the global custom bike map. Founded in 2015 by Matiz Lemark, Recast Moto was created to express ideas and passion in metal, drawing on the culture and landscape of its home country in ways that feel entirely authentic.
The base: a 1999 Moto Guzzi Nevada 750 cruiser
Lemark started with a stock 1999 Moto Guzzi Nevada 750, a relaxed V-twin cruiser with a long, low stance that is about as far from a scrambler as you can get. The goal was to strip it back and rebuild it as a menacing, entirely blacked-out machine. The transformation required patience: Lemark sourced a vintage Honda CB750 fuel tank from the United States, which took nearly a month to arrive in Minsk while the rest of the bike was already being dismantled and repainted.
Build details: duralumin, snowmobile grips, and hand-stitched leather
Every component on the Recast Moto Guzzi Nevada 750 was considered carefully. The engine was rebuilt from scratch, spoked wheels with knobby all-terrain tires replaced the factory items, and the entire motorcycle was finished in charcoal black. The frame was de-tabbed and modified at the rear to accept new shocks. Grips were salvaged from a snowmobile, a sensible choice in Belarus, and the remaining controls were machined from duralumin. Lemark built a new subframe to accommodate the hand-stitched leather skateboard seat, which sits low and clean above the rear wheel.
The result: a Bond villain's machine against a snowy backdrop
The finished bike is a motorcycle that makes even the most reserved rider feel like a Bond villain the moment they grab the throttle. The pure black finish contrasts dramatically against the white winter landscapes of Belarus, creating a visual impact that would be equally striking on a city street or a forest trail. It is proof that custom motorcycle culture knows no geographic boundaries, and that the right builder with the right vision can transform any donor bike into something genuinely compelling.
