SUMMARY
In 2010, Falcon Motorcycles revealed the incredible Kestrel, still considered one of the most beautiful custom motorcycles ever built. They also set the bar on ‘builder films’ with this shoot on the dry lakes of Southern California, during the first road test after breaking-in the engine. Ian Barry broke ‘the ton’ on his creation, paying homage to its Bonneville heritage.
