As a lover of cars and motorcycles (and a long time biker) the quality of bikes produced by Falcon Motorcycles is just amazing AND I want one......

They do look pretty nice. Haven't heard anything about them before...

incidentally, I read this:

Falcon motorcycles are totally modern in execution, but harken to an age when a bike was a metal machine, hot and dangerous, meant to be straddled, its mechanicals visible, leaving a tang in the nose and probably a drop on the ground to remind you that there was in fact something moving around inside which needed oil, but would give its best with a little careful attention.

as prone to oil leaks!

...but not vanos, broken springs or roof motor problems

Very old school.... I like...

Very true, in fact, my '56 Bandit has been known to leave a puddle or too. At least they are willing to admit it. And from the looks of things, they are using vintage motors so it is to be expected I suppose.

That website is, however, one of the most annoying I have encountered and their 'gallery' is appauling. One maybe two pictures of bikes

Any idea how much one of these badboys would set you back?

Yea, agree Website design is crap but the bike look stunning. Made to order I think so going to be magga bucks... and Mrs J has said no anyway
