1963 Moto Guzzi Falcone 500 Sport

In Italy, Standard by Abhi2 Comments

Despite the fact it was built between 1950 and 1963s, the design of the Falcone is impressively similar to the first production Guzzi from back in 1921. The 499cc single produced 23 horsepower, good for a top speed of about 85 miles per hour. For more on the Falcone, check out this article on Motorcycle Classics.

This example is in decent condition but the seller never wanted it. He instead wanted a Ducati 900SS from an estate liquidation, but the estate had 3 bikes and insisted they all be sold together. In the seller’s words, “I purchased all 3 motorcycles for a small fortune. I am simply trying to get some of my investment back.” Flaws include a missing passenger peg, broken speedo needle, and something with the clutch (though he has a new one waiting for you). The seller admits that his price is high (about 2-4 times too high, I’d say) but he’ll take a reasonable offer, whatever that means.
