A bit on the expensive side, clean ones go in the uk for under £5k (which is way to expensive imho)

He's been trying to sell that bike for several years at an inflated price.  Keeps showing up on EBAY and Craigslist.  It is a fine bike, just not likely to command the price he's asking.  This is the first time he has advertised it with that vintage picture.  I consider that a bit of false advertising.  The vintage picture is an original Falcone in police trim.  The bike he is selling is a NUOVO Falcone.  While a fine machine, they are totally different animals.  It would be like selling an 850-T and using a LeMans photo to draw in customers.  His statement is correct.  It is a vintage Guzzi.  Just not the same kind of Guzzi as shown in the lead photo.

Being "restored" you just don't know how many dents are in that tank and filled with Bondo. An unrestored bike with original paint (faded and worn) and no dents might command such a price, but not this one. I'm not sure that blue was even an original color, which further degrades the value.
