hi. recently 'converted' to Falcodom after my shabby but loud and loveable Firestorm was pinched at Christmas. :smt010 Got me an 02 with 25k on it and most of the tasteful extras people fit already fitted: MTC pipes, braided front hoses, hugger, bellypan, front mudguard extender, k&n air filter and of course it's derestricted :smt003 It's got barely a scratch on it - an absolute steal for just shy of three grand, and from a dealer with a warranty and everything too.
Would love to see another Falco or two in the flesh so to speak - if anyone's within cooee of London let me know.

Welcome to the site - I assume you're buying? Mines a vodka & red-bull (need the caffeine!).

Looks like you've got plenty of toys on your new Falco - but we'll rack up your credit card bills for other bits if you let us!

Hi K1w1boy, hope you enjoy the new bike, sounds like a bargain.

Be interested to know what you think of it in comparison to the Honda.

Yeah - welcome

Hope the scumbag that nicked your Firestorm has inadvertently done you a favour .... now that you've got yourself a Falco.

As Dale says it will be interesting to hear how they compare.

..... and I'll have a pint of 6X please :smt003

Nice to see you took my advice and joined us. :smt006
Sorry that you had your last bike stolen, it's a real pain that takes time to get over.
You've chosen a great bike to replace it with, I think you will find it more fun than the Firestorm, which in itself is a nice bike, but you'll certainly get better tank range out of the Falco!
Iv'e had mine for almost 4 years and it's the best bike I've ever had, and in my case it's also been the most reliable.
I've had quite a few Hondas in the past, still have an old CBR1000, but never loved any of them like the Falco.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine.
There's lots of people here to offer help, or just help you spend your money!
