Hi
Ive just bought a Blue 2002 Falco after having a hornet 600 and Im loving the grunty V twin :smt003 Bought one about a year and a half ago on ebay, nut when it arrived it was overheating so bad that it was displaying LLL :smt009 Turned out to be a bust left rad, but not being sure how long it had been rideen at this temp, I sent it back.
Anyway, looks like there is some good info and experience on here

Good move chap - I've also hopped over from Hornet ownership. Twins are lovely!

Welcome aboard Pete. Another blue one; you will find various theories that black ones are the fastest or was that red ones?

Anyway we all know that blue is the coolest colour (looking through my Azure tinted spectacles as I do)

All the best,

:smt001

Hi Petel,

Another Falco newbie from Sheffield - excellent! This site is a lifesaver and the peeps are very helpful. You've come to the right place (and bought the right bike!)

Welcome, only had my falco for a few months but have really enjoyed the bike and benefited from the collective wisdom around here.
