Let your Hair down with Falcon Motorcycles


"Falcon Motorcycles is a custom motorcycle company that specializes in taking the raw derelict frames and engines of post war British motorcycles, and transforming them into one-of-a-kind, handmade machines.[2] It was founded in 2007, by at the time underground motorcycle builder Ian Barry and his British born fiancee Amaryllis Knight. Each motorcycle produced by Falcon is unique, and personalized from frame to engine, the majority of parts being custom created for the rider, whilst rare vintage parts are modified and tailored to the specific buyer. or bike[3]

Falcon Motorcycle's exclusive custom work is "breathing new life into the business of custom motorcycle construction" according to UK's Esquire Magazine, who chose Falcon's motorbikes to represent custom motorcycles in the magazine's 2008 "Style 100" issue.[4]

Falcon developed an avid following, and a devoted group of clientele, that include amongst many celebrities such as Queens of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, professional skateboarder Jason Lee and actor Giovanni Ribisi.[5]. The un-repeated motorcycles are known for being fast, stripped-down customs, that stay true to the design styles of their period, while being filled with innovative ideas and design.[6]"
