Everybody else has had a view so might as well join in.

First of all in my view a V Twin has to have two cans, it's a V Twin thing.

Also changing to a single can makes it look more like a Mille, (or in Jap IL4), and why do that.

I like banana swing arms, but the Mille swinger conversion does not improve the handling and the standard swinger goes well with the style of the most beautiful frame ever fitted to a motorcycle, (even more special on the early silver frame versions in BLACK).
Hence I never bothered, but do understand why others have swapped.

You can also lift the bars over the yokes on the Falco if you need more comfort in later years, (but I ain't got there yet).

Also agree with the comment that the earlier Milles look much more dated now, but the Falco, (especially in modded form), seems to look fresher now than it did originally.

So it goes and handles just as well as the Mille (after a little help), is more comfortable, and cost a lot less, so NO CONTEST.
Falco wins every which way.

Got to disagree with the above 2 comments (other than the "in my view" bit)

Agree on all counts. Note that I carefully edited the last sentence...

And by the way Mad Hatter, regardless of all this discussion, the bike looks great.
