Hello everyone, New Falco owner here. Looking forward to some more fair weather days to annoy the caravan owners and frighten the rich and retired!

Welcome fella.
Ulverston.... Mmm nice part of the country. Cumbria is stunning.
How long have you had the falco?

My first V-Twin, not counting a youth filled with RGV's etc...
Fancied a change from my last bike (Gixer 750 Srad)

We sure will! Any competent Aprilia dealers/mechanics around our way? The bike sounds fine but a quick TB sync would allay any worries

This bike was up for sale up until the start of the weekend on ebay.
Only reason I know is as I was admiring the colour.
Edit I checked my history - I'm a nerd like that.
Its still for sale>>>>>>>>>

Yeah I put a deposit on it within hours of it going live. Previous owner traded it in against a tuono. Excellent bike for the price! They obviously never bothered taking it off. I believe it used to be red but the sun has altered the colour to a flip flop orange, lovely jubbly

A few nice mods there fella. Side stand swapped over. Some nice wavey disks, and a hugger.
I can't see what shock you have fitted though. But another good mod is to remove the blue spring sach and source an alternative if not already done.

The side stand needs sorting tbh, looks like a vtr one but is now banana shaped!
