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...

Shame really I would have thought that some topcoat would be a good addition :)

As I was watching some of the Superbikes yesterday, and they sponsor the show, thought I would see what "We buy any bike.com" would offer for my Falco
So its an 05 with 8500 miles - they offered £1780.00 - obviously back to standard.

We buy any bike/car..........Wan**rs.
A mate of mine was going through a hard time (and foolishly told them so) and had to sell his civic type R.
lovely car reasonably low mileage couple of minor scratches,offered him £1500 below book price,he tried to hang on as long as he could,but xmas was coming up and was forced into selling it.autotrader and local ad's wasnt getting any response.
I called them 2 weeks later with "the same car" for a quote,and they quoted me £1000 below book price. £500 difference
Conclusion: if you are on the bones of your arse.....FFS DONT TELL THEM................
A day without a laugh is a day wasted.
we were so poor when i was growing up.Dad said "its a good job i was born a boy,at least id have something to play with"

probably 400 quid... still a bargain given the prices here.

mickt1964,
can you put a pic up of the bike, (doesn't have to be a big one - the pic that is), as I am very intrigued as to what it looks like, and just been discussing it with t'other half.

I recently sold my Bronze 2005 for 2400 privately. 18K miles full service very tidy.

I paid £2k for mine, standard with a few furry bolts... 2003, 14k miles.
Wish I'd seen yours at £2400 though!
