Custom: Black Falcon

This is the Black Falcon, a custom motorcycle based on a Vincent Black Shadow, built by Falcon Motorcycles. To create it, Ian Barry began with a land speed record racer that’d sat idle for 25 years, blueprinting that engine and creating a one-off frame to house it. Every part has been re-engineered and re-considered to create what is essentially an entirely new motorcycle, just one that evokes a past that could have existed.
