one careful owner - shame about the other 15 that did not give a shit.....
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...

Trading Standards advised buyers to beware of counterfeit motorcycles that may not be built to the standards expected of today's machines. Pictured is such a machine branded "Kawasak" - a name so similar to that of a leading Japanese brand.
