The Falcone occupies a special place in Moto Guzzi’s history, carrying forward the horizontal single-cylinder layout that defined the marque from its earliest days in Mandello del Lario. With its low-slung engine, exposed flywheel and unmistakable exhaust beat, the Falcone became an icon of Italian motorcycling, serving both civilian riders and, in dedicated versions, the Italian police and military. The 500 cc single delivers its power in a relaxed, unhurried manner that perfectly suits the machine’s character, while the simple, robust engineering has helped many examples survive in the hands of devoted enthusiasts. Today the Falcone is highly regarded among collectors of classic Italian motorcycles, prized for its heritage, its mechanical charm and its enduring presence on vintage rallies and rides across Europe.
