Yeah - the first one doesn't have much of the streetfighter kit on it ..... and that clearly makes it the better of the two ........

The second falco street fighter is just around the corner from me. Been to see it as they are rare, looks ok but not so sure if its my cupa tea. I prefer my standard falco to it by far. Really dont like the alu made nose fairing and brake covers.

Although my Falco wont be standard for much longer, as im in the process of adding bar risers and renthal fat bars. Possibly going down the road of using a tuono nose fairing.

I think the Gen 2 tuono nose cone looks best :smt102

Protect me if I'm wrong but neither have the exhaust set do they?

one certainly doesn't not sure whether the other has them but they've been re-skinned. should be carbon.

Certainly an acquired taste. :smt075
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.
