So you mockers, my ugly mug and words in RiderPower didn't put everyone off then!

How true Pete.

That's good - you'll not have to be paying up then
BTW yours may be red but at least it's not just an undercoat

Ohh that was you then, it's all your fault DR,
![:smt002](./images/smilies/002.gif)
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..
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

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