D-rider, remember writing this?

#1 Post by Cathcart » Sat Apr 06, 2013 10:22 am

Having a little read about the falco.... When sitting on the pan what else is there to do right?

Brilliant Bike
D-Rider
Bought new in June '05 for under £5k. This bike never fails to put a smile on my face - it can do just about anything (well, on-road anyway). Excellent Falco community at www.apriliaridersite.com . The motor is awesome and it handles really well. In standard trim it's a great bike .... but fettling and personalising Falcos is completely addictive. This is my first non-Honda and build quality is at least as good - probably better - than any other bike I've owned. Of course the sidestand mod Must be done and upgrading the shock pays dividends. After that, change as much or as little as you want .... but above all ride it to keep that grin permanently on your face! show less

Just thought I'd throw it up. Doesn't time fly??! 2007!

Yeah - wasn't that in one of the MCN Falco reviews?

Ye, was sitting bored so read through them all and seen yours pop up! Almost 6 years ago...
The falco seems to always get a good write up, it's a wonder that more people don't know of its existence.

What made you buy andy...
The look? the price? The fast colour?

Years supply of Grecian 2000?


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...
