Falcon Motorcycles are a collection of ten, one-of-a-kind motorcycles, never to be repeated.

The Bullet Falcon was the first, built by Ian Barry before he had the tools or resources to actualize his ideas to the fullest, he poured a year of his life in to creating this machine.

The Kestrel was the second, an evolutionary leap from the Bullet, it took Ian and a team of 3 a year to build.

Designed around the engine of a Vincent Black Shadow, the Black Falcon took Ian and a team of six men over a year to create. Every part of the motorcycle except for the tires, carbs and engine was designed by Ian, and made in house.

Each Falcon moving forward in the collection of ten, will be designed and built around the engine of an iconic pre- or post-war British motorcycle with racing pedigree.

Only one Falcon will be built per year. Blending precision CNC machining and rarified hand crafting techniques, each machine will be designed by Ian, and fabricated in house over a 12,000 hour process - the frame, tanks, exhaust pipes, front forks, handlebars, levers, brakes, castle nuts, bolts, seats, even the cylinders.

# 1 The Bullet: (not for sale) VIEW HERE
The first Concept 10 machine, the Bullet Falcon was unveiled to much acclaim at the 2008 Legend of the Motorcycle Concours, winning the 'Custom Culture' award. Built from the frame and engine of a 1950 triumph Thunderbird (the bike Marlon Brando rode in The Wild One), the Bullet took over 1000 hours to create.     

# 2 The Kestrel: (sold) VIEW HERE
The second of Falcon’s Concept Ten collection is an evolutionary leap from the Bullet. The sophistication of design and build quality has been elevated to an entirely new level.  Over 2000 hours of machining, hammering, rolling and hand-carving have been labored into the Kestrel, which is Ian Barry’s swan song for a decade of building custom Triumph twins. With the exception of a few critical pieces (crankcases, gearbox, and 10 inches of the original Triumph headstock), everything – including the frame, girder front forks, gas and oil tanks, exhausts, handlebars, levers, even the cylinders – was fabricated in-house. The Kestrel was unveiled at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering on May 8th, in Carmel CA, where it won the 'Best in Show' award for original motorcycle.

# 3 The ‘Black’: (sold) VIEW HERE
At its heart, the Black Falcon has a 1952 Vincent Black Shadow engine with California racing history. The Black Falcon is an icon of a different sort, combining the incredible charisma of the Vincent powerplant with the graceful lines of a Falcon. Every part of the motorcycle apart from the engine and tires has been designed and fabricated from scratch in house.

# 4 The ‘White’: (under construction) 
The White Falcon will have as its heart an extremely rare 1967 Velocette Thruxton motor, one of a handful of motorcycles built by Velocette with a 'squish' combustion chamber with a view to win the inaugural Isle of Man Production TT.   The engine we will start the build with is believed to have powered Arthur Lavington's Thruxton for three years in the 'Proddy' TT. Arthur was the last man to race a Velocette in a GP).

The ‘Altai’: (enquire)
The Altai Falcon will be based on the very rare early version of the legendary Ariel Square 4, one of select few British four-cylinder motorcycles built before 1990. The 1936 engine we have is especially desirable in using overhead camshaft valve operation. Finding a suitable donor machine was literally 'falcon's teeth'... that this machine was an original US import makes it nearly unique. The inspiration for the Altai are the two known supercharged 'cammy Squariels' of Ben Bickell and Foster-Pegg, both raced at Brooklands in the days when a supercharged ohc 4 was the very pinnacle of exotica. 

The ‘Merlin’: (enquire)
In the world of motorcycle racing, the overhead-camshaft Norton was a fixture on the track for nearly 40 years, deservedly – the Norton engine was incredibly robust, reliable, and very fast. The Merlin will use a 1936 Norton ‘International’ cam cam motor as inspiration for an entirely different take on this most traditional of single-cylinder road racers. 

The Peregrine: (enquire) 
Before WW2, overhead camshaft engines were rare and usually reserved for racing motorcycles, or at least bikes with racing ambitions. There are many ways of driving an ohc; AJS chose the simplicity of a chain drive, once the Weller chain tensioner had been invented to cure problems of whip over the long run from crankshaft to the top of the cylinder head. Prewar ‘Ajay cammies’ are rare as they were produced in limited numbers, but their evolution over time into formidable racers postwar makes the early versions desirable as harbingers of great things to come, and excellent machines in themselves. 

The Grey: (enquire) 
The BSA Gold Star is a machine which almost needs no introduction. The ultimate Café Racer, the favorite of the Ton-Up Boys, the machine which dominated (and thus ruined) Clubman racing in England in the 1950s, the ‘Goldie’ deserves its reputation as a beautiful and extremely fast motorcycle, capable of making a good rider that much better, whether road racing, dirt tracking, trials riding, or touring. Falcon is excited to embrace this charismatic engine and make yet another variant, the Grey, on the many iterations of the DBD34GS. 

The Saker: (enquire)
When one thinks of ‘four-valve’ cylinder head technology these days, Rudge rarely comes to mind, but this august company delivered advanced engine designs from the mid-1920s, gaining major race victories by the end of that decade (especially the Ulster GP), and building highly esteemed roadsters which could push 100mph with full road equipment. The Saker will continue the Rudge tradition of fast and innovative motorcycling.  

The Vespertine: (enquire)
The Vespertine Falcon will be based around a vintage J.A.P engine, as used in an original Brough Superior motorcycle. The Vespertine Falcon will intend to respect the hand of George Brough himself, one of the most gifted motorcycle designers ever, by remaining true to his characteristic symphony of lines and bulbous curves. The mighty British v-twin engine will provide a unique opportunity to explore new directions, while remaining true to the past.
