Moto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. The Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone is a very useable 500cc horizontal single-cylinder design manufactured from 1968 until 1974 as a tough and durable military motorcycle, featuring a low revving reliable engine with solidly “over-engineered” frame and cycle parts.

This c.1973 model, is part of a deceased estate and being offered at ‘no reserve’. It appears to be an ex-military bike that was imported into the UK in 2002. Supplied by North Leicester Motorcycles this Falcone has been enjoyed by its enthusiast owner as part of a collection of European bikes, it has been stood for the last few years but the engine turns over on the kickstart and it seems to be complete. It’s thought to be original paint. It comes supplied with numerous old MOTs, old tax disc and a current V5C.
