tim has obviously not realised that that combo is our gift to him - the ARS falco with steps so short fat hairy legs can both get on and ride it


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...

Joking aside, it looks quite interesting from an engineering point of view. I take it theyre Ebay pics, not pics from the owner's website?

Welcome to the site Oli.
Great choice of bike and you chose the best colour.
As other have said, take it steady at first until you get used to V twin. It will wheelie easily off the throttle if you give it too much, so take it steady until you are used to it.
If you want to have a look at other black Falcos that have been "modified", have a look in RidersSite Falcos and other Galleries and pick out the mods you like the look of.
You'll also see a nice selection of other, slower coloured Falcos, in there as well!
