Not the old "haven't seen many like that - it's not a very popular colour is it?" routine ?

Credit card application forms, loan application forms, mortgage application forms................

That looks like a standard bike, so it'll need soooooo many things added to it.....

and Alad will know pretty much everything that needs checking, have him on speed dial..

Service history, sound of it on start up, idling, etc check rear suspension for state of the shock and linkages, state of the swingarm bearings, check headset for tightspots or lumpiness when turning etc, state of the brake discs, whether it's had any mods done and mods removed, etc etc etc check it rigourously for damage from being dropped off the sidestand, especially the nosecone frame for any obvious misalignment...


etc, etc

Sorry to interrupt - I just read this thread and may have the wrong end of the stick ... but...If you decide to go for a Falco but want to spend less I am thinking of selling mine. It's a 2001 black model with 19k miles. Ask Pete.
