oh !! and the red ones are that little bit faster
you forgot to finish it - oh !! and the red ones are that little bit faster than the yellow ones but the quickest are still the black ones.....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

That's good - you'll not have to be paying up then :smt020

BTW yours may be red but at least it's not just an undercoat :smt003

Ohh that was you then, it's all your fault DR, :smt002 it's the fast comfortable touring comment that got me, as i wanted just that instead of having to visit the chiropractor when i got back from a week blasting around the SOF.. :smt088


And of course the insurance is so much cheaper compared to the Blade/BB, etc, etc I had quite a pleasant supprise just for once, when i phoned for a quote :smt003

Yeah - 'twas me.
I think most of us find the Falco reasonably comfortable - at least for a sports tourer that errs on the sports part of that title.
Of course comfort is down to the individual, their preferences and their shape.
Some prefer a more upright stance and they've fitted variobars or some-such .... so even if it doesn't fit you straight-off, chances are it can with minimal effort ...... but please don't blame me if it doesn't work for you
:smt002

I think you'll love it though - there are few that don't. :smt003
