As bikes are our weakness, we will cover some of the hottest bikes from around the world – starting with the Black Falcon.
One-of-a-kind, this striking bike is one of only ten planned concept bikes from Falcon Motorcycles. This juggernaut of a machine took a year to build (with all its custom parts) by a team of six. Based on the Vincent Black Shadow, the 1952 engine was modified so meticulously that the parts were balanced to a tenth of a gram, like a Swiss timepiece.
The chassis were built from new, with a number of parts, CNC-machined to create the one-off pieces. The brake drum liners are modified locomotive cylinders, making sure it’s 140+mph potential can stop on a dime, and it has fully adjustable handlebars and front and rear wheels, to suit the rider.
It also comes with two different fuel tanks, one for regular riding and a smaller “quarter mile” one for the drag strip. The Black Falcon is a two-wheeled dream. To keep up with the latest Falcon Motorcycles news, visit the Falcon Motorcycles Facebook Fan Page.
