The Bullet by Falcon Motorcycles
There aren’t enough words to describe our enthusiasm for the motorcycles coming out of a quondam welding factory in downtown L.A. now serving as the headquarters for Ian Barry and Amaryllis Knight’s Falcon Motorcycles. Using original parts fabricated from raw blocks of reclaimed metal, rare vintage parts, and derelict motorcycles from various British marques such as Triumph, Norton and Velocette (among many others), Falcon Motorcycles designs and builds singularly stunning motorcycles that detonate the line between customized vehicles and one-of-a-kind pieces of mobile art. By taking components from the old and seamlessly integrating them with newly sculpted pieces, Falcon Motorcycles elevates the art of refurbishing and re-engineering to heights that transcend what others in their field call customization. The result is a motorcycle that’s fresh and yet timeless, a combination seldom achieved with such seeming ease. The reality is that no detail is overlooked or any expense spared in ensuring that each Falcon motorcycle represents the immaculate vision of aesthetic brilliance and precision performance predetermined for each motorcycle even before it comes to fruition. From their current in-process collection of ten unique motorcycles (contact Falcon Motorcycles for availability and pricing), the Bullet is the re-imagination of a motorcycle that began life as a 1950 pre-unit Triumph Thunderbird. It’s only the first of many Falcons that will indelibly permeate the consciousness of motorcycle aficionados everywhere and we simply can’t wait for what’s coming next.
