Hi all.
I'm a dyed in the wool IL4 man, owned Fireblades since God made the earth. Friend bought a Cagiva V Raptor, had a few goes, quite liked the experience.
This Falco came up locally, one, fastidious, owner, all the right mods, Mille rear shock, uprated clutch save cylinder, uprated battery, airbox done, Paoli lookalike levers, even has a steering damper, 28,000 miles, sounds sweet and runs fine.
Been ploughing through the posts while I waited for my membership confirmation to arrive, lots of useful info and enough to scare me witless, time will tell whether I am a convert..... So far, my impressions are definitely very positive.
Wait for the deluge of newbie questions!

Cheers

Hi and welcome

Yep, the v-twin is different to an i-4 but once you're on the same wavelength you can easily become hooked.

Enjoy

Hi JJ,

Welcome to the forum - I've only just joined myself! I love the VTwin experience myself, having tried most other configurations, VTwin just has it all for my purposes at least! Sounds like you have got yourself a sorted Falco! I wish the previous owner of mine had ridden and maintained it more / as much as yours!

Cheers,

NN

Welcome to all the new members.

Inline 4's have no soul. I love the grunt of the v twin and also own a 900 triple.

I can't see myself going back to IL4s any time soon.
