4000$ would be about market value in europe.

They never imported them here, so if the value's $4000 in Europe, it would be $5500 to $6000 here in the USA.

The tank looks really ratty and too bad it was repainted still, I'll take a wild guess and say it will auction for $9,000+

the paint looks original as far as i can see,
these were simple workhorses , finish was not to the same level as civilian bikes

[Groover]

Looks like a good one to have.

read the content of the add,

" It has been repainted in the original color and had new decals installed by the previous owner,"

If anyone is interested in the non-military version of this bike, Leafman has one with the original paint (blue) and he is planning on selling the bike in the not too distant future. He has installed a lightened flywheel but reverting back to the original one isn't a big deal.

Anyway, let me know and I can give you his contact info.

One of these military Nuovo Falcons sold for under $5000 Canadian in British Columbia this spring, that's well under $4K USD. It looked pretty nice, I will probably regret not going to take a look at it.

I'd totally love to have that Nuovo Falcone!

To clarify, they made two versions of this bike, the 'Militare' which was sold to Army, Police, Guardia, etc in multiple color schemes but always the same bike,   And the 'Civile' which as near as I can guess was sold to old men who missed their original Falcone's.  The Civilie was mechanically identical, but it had a longer lower tank, pumper carb, air filter with no box, and up swept exhaust, gauges off of a V7, and....Electric Start! Not that it's needed, but works by reversing the polarity of the generator while holding in the compression release and once the flywheel gets moving slowly releasing it.

This is mine, bought in '01 in Pisa, Italy. Plan on selling once the 'Rona's over.

What happened to Leafman and his sweet burgundy Nuvo Falcone? have not seen him here in quite some time?

He is down to just the one Guzzi and I don't imagine he will be purchasing another one anytime soon. The Stelvio left a particularly bad taste in his mouth.
