The Hartford Falcon motorcycle was a British-made lightweight roadster produced by the Hartfords of Wandsworth, London, between 1949 and 1954. The Falcon was designed as an inexpensive, easy to maintain bike with a direct background in competition riding. It was powered by a single-cylinder Villiers engine, which produced up to 9 horsepower, and could reach speeds of up to 47 miles per hour. It was well-suited to short distance road trips and competition use due to its agile handling characteristics.
