I just happened to be checking RS's presence on various googles and went to 'aprilia falco' on search images.
Might be a good place to look next time the subject of colour schemes crops up .... but ... there were only 2 RS machines there and they were a couple of the smartest.
Wanna guess who's? :smt003

I did a revue on the Aprilia Falco on another bike site about 6 years ago, and it has been in the Google top ten pretty much ever since, I'm not sure why, but always makes me laugh to see it.
Still in there in top ten today, if you search "Aprilia Falco"! :smt017

Keep thinking I should do a 6th year anniversary update to it.

I'm guessing Pete's and Hanna's - he's always pimping them everywhere - either that or Pete's and Nooj's

We discussed this one a while back - you will find I speak for the forum ...

not mine or hanna's - we are quiet and discrete....


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...

Oooops never expected that!

Rich's old bike always looked great.
He put a lot of effort into that.
