Kev,

Welcome, if you want to see just how out of control this aprilia thing is just have a look in the gallery, some awesome bikes on here.

I'm toying with the idea of a fuono, and the response from some of the guys on here has been immense.

And yes the falco is a great great bike

Rob

Welcome mate - great choice of bike. It will take some gradual getting used to after a 600 inline four. The best and most reliable advice is on this forum, and there are no daft questions.
Enjoy. (get your credit card out cos I can gaurantee it won't be a standard bike for much longer :smt002 )

Hello mate. :smt003
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

So I just got home after picking her up. First impressions are great, smooth and torquey, riding position took a little getting used to after the bandit but comfortable enough, although I am going to have to get a new lid as my Simpson sits a little low over the eyebrows and is a tad restrictive for my vision. Sounds great too, very characterful even on the standard cans.

standard cans......

































wtf are they?

and seriously - sort the side stand out, then just ride the bike to see what its like before you let us lose with your soon too be empty wallet......


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...
