...it's a Falco in Oasis Green.

So after many emails, PMs and telephone conversations, i've now joined the Aprilia Falco club.

Just back from the dealers:



Datatool S4000 Remote alarm
Beowulf Silencers
Datatag
Full Scottoiler system
Original tool kit present and all documents
Pillion seat and cowl

The bike is EU Spec with EU headlight (i didn't see it as a problem as it'll come with 12month MOT)

Well its about time
Enjoy what you have bought carl, I can't believe you have bought your first falco and it happens to be one of the rarest

That's a lovely looking bike. Well done that man. Welcome to the brother/Falco/neighbourhood...

Very nice Congratulations!!

That's very tidy looking.

Ok so now he has committed we can stop being nice

Well done sir proably the second nicest Colour scheme

nice machine . the indicators look big enough to be air brakes

enjoy

dave

Welcome


You collect it next weekend.... So modding starts week Monday then

And sorry for calling chrissie ball a cunt.. But he is...


:)

Welcome.

Cheers guys. Sorry to all of those who's Falcos i've enquired about.

As for the rest of you, expect lots of pictures and lots of silly questions, like how do i change the front light bulbs etc..

Very nice looking bike, and a bit on the rare side ( many posts about the colour and its scarceity, sorry no idea how to link them ). I think the Falco is a stunning bike to look at, then you notice the indicators and cant help but wonder if Aprilia bought a cheap job lot of 80s MZ indicators.

Congrats - you lucky boy. I love the Oasis green ones.

As far as anyone knows, none were shipped to anywhere other than UK .... so what on earth is one doing with an EU headlight ....


.... just wondering what headlight the other Oasis bikes have .... guess it's possible that if they were show bikes they might have had whatever headlights were available .... maybe they all do (maybe they don't).
If the other owners could check .... here's how: https://www.ridersite.com/viewtopic.ph ... =headlight

One thing i've noticed, is that everyone says the Falco has a really heavy clutch. i've just come from Bandit 1250 and the clutch on that seemed much heavier than the Falco. The cable clutch on the ZX9R is like a feather in comparison

Maybe taken abroad for press test ride duties in Germany, etc? or bought by a Squaddie in BFG?
