# Classic Metal Motorcycles The Black Falcon is One Mean Collaboration of Metal and Rubber By Peter Vallas | Published 2011-05-18 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-falcon References: [bikeexif](http://www.bikeexif.com/vincent-black-shadow-2#more-12042) & [falconmotorcycles](http://www.falconmotorcycles.com/) Any two-wheeler enthusiast will be in awe when he sees this amazing motorcycle, the [Black Falcon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motor-oil-whiskey). Built by Falcon Motorcycles, this one-of-a-kind bike is the flagship of the brand's production. Just look at the bike and you'll see why. The Black Falcon took over a year to build and was done under the supervision of Ian Barry. The bike gets its inspiration from drag bikes from the 50s and 60s. There are two separate gas tanks, allowing you to use different types of fuel for more power. Much of the bike features [parts from the 1950s and 60s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachman) that have been replicated and made 10 times stronger. However, only one of these bad boys was built and it has already been sold, so you may never get the chance to ride it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Custom Motorcycle Designs:** Opportunity for designers and manufacturers to create unique and personalized motorcycles with a retro aesthetic. - **Vintage Parts Replication:** Potential for replicating and enhancing vintage motorcycle parts to improve performance and durability. - **Alternative Fuel Motorcycles:** Emerging market for motorcycles with dual fuel capabilities for increased power and fuel efficiency. ### Who This Affects Most - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Potential for motorcycle manufacturers to cater to the growing demand for custom and vintage-inspired motorcycles. - **Automotive Restoration:** Opportunity for restoration and customization shops to replicate vintage motorcycle parts and create unique designs. - **Alternative Fuel Technology:** Opportunity for alternative fuel technology companies to develop solutions for motorcycles that can utilize multiple fuel types. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aircraft-Inspired Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabman-creations.md) - [Steampunk-Inspired Motorcycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirk-oehlerking.md) - [Custom-Built Sci-Fi Series Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumblebee-bike.md) - [High-End Titanium Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ccm.md) - [Leather-Adorned Italian Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xdaviel-nera.md) - [Futuristic Concept Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-motorcycle1.md) - [Full-Suspension Trekking Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyke-falcon-x.md) - [Black-Chrome Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/120th-anniversary-limited-edition-twins.md) - [Darkly Demure Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maeving-rm1s-blackout.md)
