Yes! Although a recent semi-sunk nail in the rear tyre left a nail-head sized chip in it! :smt013

I must admit the red flamingo is my favourite colour.
Looks a very nice falco fella. :smt007

They certainly are - watch this video from 1.25 if you want to hear them beat the competition under a bridge: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGgfeXqK3M8

:smt020

The baffles were out in this vid and, since that picture, are still out as the bike felt nowhere near as smooth.

Very nice - but then I would say that, mine is the Flamingo Red as well... :smt003

But why go for the Mille swingarm? Just get the standard one powder coated satin black - it will look much better. (Cue incoming...)

Always divides opinion! I've since removed it as it all cracked the first time I rode after painting! Bloody waste of time that was!!
