Moto Guzzi re-commenced production post-war with a range of updated pre-war designs, the 500cc touring GTV and sportier GTW soon gaining telescopic front forks and hydraulic rear suspension before being replaced for 1949 by the Astore. The latter incorporated several features pioneered on the hugely successful 250cc Airone, principally an aluminium-alloy cylinder barrel and 'head and enclosed valve gear, and remained in production until 1953. By then the ultimate expression of Guzzi's classic, vintage-style single had arrived: the legendary Falcone. Introduced in 1950, the Falcone took over the GTW's mantle of Guzzi's top sports roadster, 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 was first registered in the UK on 1st November 2015 and purchased by Miklos from Classic Super Bikes on 5th August 2016. It appears that the Guzzi was formerly resident in Hungary as there is a Magyar Autóclub certificate (dated 2002) and other Hungarian paperwork in the accompanying file. The machine also comes with a V5C Registration Certificate and invoices for an annual service (December 2016) and new tyres (January 2017). A set of Moto Guzzi decals and an owner's manual are included in the sale.
