So I'm pottering around putting some blingy bits on my replacement Falco, which was first registered in June '06,
and I start to wonder if it was the LAST one brought into the UK
I guess this would only apply to those with the exclusive end of line Bronze model and I realise there are others about who aren't on this forum
How would you check, chassis number?
Maybe the owner of the LAST one on the forum could qualify for a fancy title like Bigun got when we took over ridersite

... or could be one of the Flamingo Red ones ....
What sort of title do you want?
"Last to catch on"
"Late to the party"
"Hey lads ..... wait for me ...."
Something along those lines?

Black was the first colour mate, sorry!
mine is one of the early birds, and now has around 22000 miles... if i remember when i get home tonight i will look at the paperwork to see the exact date.... i think it was june 2000 but....
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...

Mine's an '04 registered Bronze one - chassis number ends in 657
They didn't sell many between '04 & '06 did they ?

It's no good looking at only the last 3 digits - for example, I know of an 02 model that has 8XX as the last 3 digits (XX are numbers and as it's not my bike I'm not posting up more of the number).
You need to look at the year field as well
They all seem to start: ZD4PAS00YYS followed by 6 more numbers
The YY is the year.
(I've a few of these numbers from the info I collected for trying to sort out the headlamp issue)
