Blimey - that's a blast from the past! Sorry to hear you're selling the old girl, any particular reason? You know you'll regret it...

Wife goes pillion on the Futura 90% of the time and looking to make space, nothing more. Its always been reliable and ridden really well.

With a slight sense of sadness, I realise that I don't want another Falco. Who knew three (+ an RSV and a Futura) would ever be enough? :smt022

I mean, if it was free, I'd give it a good home :smt003

I'm toying with the idea of another Falco for a track day bike, but old git's bike is way too nice to contemplate that kind of fate for it.

Thanks Dave, not a need more than a want.
Seems stupid to leave it sat when it goes so well and is in such good nic, it could well remain in the shed under cover and come out in 20 years time as a 'barn find' classic and make me a fortune :smt017 but would be better enjoyed by someone now I think.
Forgot, I also have Ohlins as well, so that will also need to be taken into consideration. Nothing needs doing (to my mind) so I hope someone will get her and have a blast.
