Forbes Magazine: Russia
"Each Falcon Motorcycle will be worthy of a place in the garage of a collector, as well as in The Museum of Design and Technology. "
Playboy Magazine
"A work of artisan isn't any less a work of art just because it has an engine in it: Ian Barry re-crates vintage British motorcycles by salvaging and recrafting frames and engines and adding pieces forged from scratch. And yes, they're street legal. Big Daddy would be proud"
GQ magazine
"For award-winning Californian motorcycle builder Ian Barry, old bikes don't die... they just provide him with the raw materials to customize vintage two-wheeled icons."
Josh Homme, Them Crooked Vultures/ Queens Of The Stone Age
"Falcon Motorcycles are visually elegant, and timeless, and thankfully, built with modern mechanical finesse. Which is nice for me because I don't like Fringe, Bling or uneccessary chaps. So basically... it's absolute class... roaring under your ass."
The Robb Report
"Ian Barry, cofounder of Falcon Motorcycles, has an artistic vision that goes far deeper than the motorbikes his company creates. Barry spends up to 3,000 hours redesigning the bikes from the ground up, performing all the fabrication in-house. He is so dedicated to creating the perfect motorcycle that he even designs and builds many of the tools that are used to construct each bike."
Garage magazine
"With so many perfect bikes on the green cliffs, it was a little overwhelming to pick out which ones were customs and do it before the award ceremony started. But in Jesse's mind, the choice was easy - he spotted the Bullet Falcon quickly and said, "Don't worry 'bout it. I already found the best custom and it's sitting over there on the hill." As soon as we laid eyes on the bike and it's builder, we knew we had something special on our hands. Ian brings a thoughtful approach to his bikes that will guarantee each one a place in history."
Jason Lee
"The Bullet is a perfect motorcycle, and a major accomplishment for Falcon. Not just because of the bike's overwhelming beauty, but because Ian Barry has completely shattered the current custom motorcycle mold."
Wallpaper* magazine
"Good design is no longer just about form and function - both of which must be a given - it is also about an object's story, craftsmanship and, in an increasingly corporate and homogenous world, its individuality. The work of Falcon Motorcycles ticks all these boxes. And that is no mean feat today."
Nylon Magazine
"Few motorcycles in recent history have had the singular impact of the Bullet."
Intersection
"One way to think of Falcon motorcycles is as if they were concept bikes from the era — as if you time-traveled to the Secret Workshop of a British motorcycle manufacturer in 1949, and they were building a one-off prototype for Sherlock Holmes or Nick Fury. These are what the bikes would look like if they could be fitted with every perfect nuance and fine-toothed detail. If every imaginative whim could be fulfilled: singular pieces forged from scratch and sculpted to form, rare parts collected from far-flung distant lands, hand-stitched saddlebags and leather upholstery. Vehicular bad-assery."
Esquire magazine
"In the heartland of pimped rides and cosmetic chop shops, Barry, 35, has raised the bar for bike aesthetics and further blurred the lines dividing mechanics and art; He is breathing new life into the business of custom motorcycle construction."
