1500 miles
Deserves to go to a new owner who might actually use it
At that mileage it may still be on the original tyres (Metzler MEZ3). If so, dump them immediately - they aren't worth wearing out - I've never found anyone who doesn't think they are abysmal on the Falco - thing just doesn't handle with them on there.
Others will confirm I'm not exaggerating here.

welcome! That's one low mileage bike you got there, I've only had mine about 3 weeks and i've already added nearly 1000 miles. In fact my poor bike currently a 2005 with 6k miles is going to be worthless in a couple of years if i continue actually using it

Well, it's standard now, but I've got a rear hugger and lower fairing ordered and being painted to match.

Why not keep them black and paint the rest of the bike to match - go on, you know you wanted a black one really
Welcome to the site and just leave your credit card details with us, we'll sort out the rest.
