The Moto Guzzi Falcone is a motorcycle that the Italian company Moto Guzzi produced from 1950 to 1967. "Falcone" means "falcon" in German. In 1950 the Falcone was introduced as a sportier version of the Moto Guzzi Astore . It differed from this one by a more modern tank shape, different rear shock absorbers and above all by a slightly more powerful engine. At first there was only one model called "Falcone".
Imported into the UK from Rome in 2014, it was UK registered on 1st December 2014, where it was given Historic status. This very rare Falcone Sport is in original unrestored condition. This matching numbers example is the very rare Sport model and the first production motorcycle to be fitted with aluminium rims as standard. Nicknamed ‘the bacon slicer’ due to its external flywheel, similar to antique butcher machinery. A well-travelled machine it competed in the Irish National Rally in 2016 (covering 600 miles in a week with a pillion, trouble-free motorcycling) and the Spanish Picos Mountains. Presented with a current V5C.
