Lot 54
1957 Moto Guzzi 499cc Falcone
Registration no. unregistered
Chassis no.
The ultimate expression of Guzzi's classic, Vintage-style single, the legendary Falcone was introduced in 1950. The Falcone took over the GTW's mantle of Guzzi's top sports bike, its tuneable engine being closely related to that of the Dondolino racer. Offered in Sport, Turismo and military/ police specifications, the Falcone outlived all its fellows, the Turismo civilian version remaining in production until 1963 when it was replaced by the all-new Falcone Nuovo.
This Falcone is presented in unrestored condition and has a total of 25, 267 kilometres showing on the odometer. The history of this machine is unknown. No Documents.
Offered with two keys.
