Sold the Falco and looking at something for scratching around the Dales. The local dealer has a very tidy 2010 Dorsoduro.

I know it's the Falco forum but thought you guys would be in the know. Are these bikes OK with the in house 750 engine in respect of reliability?

A friend had the Shiver for a couple of years; same engine. Had no major problems

Another friend had a Dorso 750 for a few months last year, and ended up hating it - minimal wind protection, even with the Puig extended screen - but he is more used to sports bikes.

They do sound very nice, even with the standard exhaust.

Wasn't with aprilia's but I went from sports to a naked, was ok at low speeds but the wind blast at high speed was really annoying... All I'm saying is be sure you don't mind wind blast.

I went the other way not in a Squid sense but in a naked to sports and every now and then have to sit bolt upright to remind myself I am going as quick as I think. First time on the nakeds at any speed thought I'd been hit with an anvil albeit a small softish one :)
