The Moto-Guzzi Nuovo Falcone VOC

I have been studying the Mighty Nuovo Falcone for a long time now after seeing one at the Stafford Show and falling for it`s quirky/unique charm.I have become convinced that I would like to own one and have in £3500 cash available.Am I being unreasonable in expecting to buy a tidy low mileage runner for this sort of money or do I need to keep adding to the piggy bank?I would be grateful if experienced owners could offer some advice.At my age ,I would love to experience ownership but probably don't have that much time left to achieve this ambition.Thank you very much all advice appreciated.

I bought my 1970 Carabinieri NF in Saarbruken, Germany in 2009 and paid £2800 (from memory)

Do not sell velo before you try one! they are heavier and left hand side kick start is awkward at first .Try and find one with electric starter and have it demonstrated  as to how it operates . ..Prices ? I bought  two  .NFs last year.one private and one from NLM. Buying from a dealer gives you some peace of mind . Good Luck

I find mine really easy to start, the dynostart isnt really nescessary and lack of dynostart shouldnt put you off. Nice to have but not essential

I agree with the others,easy to kick start.I have a knackered left ankle and find that starting is easy,usually first kick.I have the bike on the side stand,ease over compression and 'kick' ( more like a push ) with my right foot.Simples.

Thank you very much for all the advice it is appreciated.I have by now managed a test ride on a Mighty N.F. However this was out of my price range but I enjoyed every minute of it.I would appreciate it if anyone has one for sale they could let me know I can offer a good home and guarantee not to sell it on for profit.
