Very shiny. I like it.

What indicators do you have on there? Oh yeah, I haven't seen a red-spring shock absorber before, either...
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Nice looking bike! Isn't that one of the US-only colour schemes, with the 'Zorro' mark? So I'm not the only one with a red spring on my Ohlins shock (damn...) :smt003

It's certainly worth showing Ian, looking good as ever.

Nope, we Aussies got that same colour scheme as well. In fact, I have one at home that's 99% identical. :smt002

So we here in the UK were discriminated against by virtue of the fact Aprilia never imported Falcos in certain colour schemes?

I feel a letter to my MP coming on... :smt004

Yeah, but they never got the Olympic Bronze, Flamingo Red and Oasis Green bikes that we got in Yurup ..... not that the rest of Europe got the Green ones .... and not that we got many of them either
