Hi Rick, sorry to see you've killed the old girl :smt011 Still, at least you're ok. Maybe think about some knobbly's for off roading on the next one :smt016

yeah sorry!

seriously though I'm happy to ship one over here... as long as its tricked out! my mate in Brum can check it out, I'll pay ya, and he (although I havent asked him yet!) can organise shipping for me.

offers welcome!

Damn!

I've seen a nice looking example in Malpas near Cwmbran... which is real close to my folks but they're not bikers to have a look for me. Its available on eBay... not sure about the price just yet...

Also this older one near a friend in Brum... looks very clean, but different colour

Thoughts?

I like the first one from a quick look at the pics it seems nice .... but obviously you can only tell so much from them

yeah it looks the nicer of the two, plus mods. 3k seems reasonable to me, but i'm out of touch with uk prices

:smt017

Ad says "Located near to Whitchurch area, Cheshire." Malpas, Cheshire isn't that far from Geoff - Flatlander; Paddy's not too far away, either. As I've not much else better to do, I could have a look for you, but I'm not sufficiently familiar with Falco details (despite a few years of rubbing shoulders with you lot) to give more than a general opinion.

This one, IMHO, is a nicer specimen than the '01 bike in the other ad. But I'm not a Falco specialist

Yeah, although it does state elsewhere Blaenau Gwent so I need to clarify.

Guy has made contact but said sold as seen with no test rides until cash in hand and I've bought it!

Thanks for the offers of having a look, I'll probably take one of you guys up on that.

Sounds a bit dodgy to me. Test ride with cash in hand unless something goes wrong, yes. but test ride with cash in hand once bought - what is he trying to hide?

So you've to buy it without a test ride? Think I would just buy another... Sounds odd.

It maybe his wording... I've asked for clarification!

Well I've also been looking at some RSVR's and spotted this on RSVR.net... anyone local to Horesham that could have a look for me to see if its as good as it seems?

Its not quite a Falco... but there are similarities!
