D-Rider's Standard Falco

#1 Post by D-Rider » Wed Jul 17, 2013 9:27 am

So – here’s the definition of a “Standard” bike

The changes I’ve made to the factory-delivered spec have been done to make the bike easier to ride – so more enjoyable to ride and safer too. Basically the main areas of change have been uprated handling, braking and throttle response. It’s not entirely “bling-free” but that’s a secondary thing.

I’ve probably missed something or other but this should give you an idea.
