1957 Moto Guzzi 499cc Falcone
Registration no. unregistered
Frame no. CF*12827*
Engine no. unable to locate

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.

As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.

Moto Guzzi Falcone 499 cc – 1957
Non immatriculée
Cadre n° CF*12827*
Moteur : numéro non trouvé


Expression la plus aboutie des motos classiques de style Vintage de Guzzi, la légendaire Falcone fut présentée en 1950. Elle reprenait l'allure des GTW, au sommet des Guzzi de sport, et son moteur aisément préparable dérivait étroitement de celui des Dondolino de course. Proposée en versions Sport, Tourisme et police/armée, la Falcone surpassait toutes ses coéquipières ; sa version civile Tourisme resta en production jusqu'en 1963, année de son remplacement par la totalement nouvelle Falcone Nuovo.

Cette Falcone, présentée non restaurée, affiche 25 267 km au compteur. Elle est munie de deux clés. Son historique est inconnu. Pas de documents disponibles.

De même que tous les lots de cette vente, ce lot est vendu "en l'état et à l'endroit où il se trouve" et les enchérisseurs doivent en vérifier la provenance, l'état, l'âge, la complétude et l'authenticité avant d'enchérir.
