So you mockers, my ugly mug and words in RiderPower didn't put everyone off then!

and they say that care in the community doesn't work andy....
and as for
oh !! and the red ones are that little bit faster
you forgot to finish it - oh !! and the red ones are that little bit faster than the yellow ones but the quickest are still the black ones.....
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...

How true Pete.

That's good - you'll not have to be paying up then
BTW yours may be red but at least it's not just an undercoat

Ohh that was you then, it's all your fault DR,
![:smt002](./images/smilies/002.gif)
it's the fast comfortable touring comment that got me, as i wanted just that instead of having to visit the chiropractor when i got back from a week blasting around the SOF..
And of course the insurance is so much cheaper compared to the Blade/BB, etc, etc I had quite a pleasant supprise just for once, when i phoned for a quote

Yeah - 'twas me.
I think most of us find the Falco reasonably comfortable - at least for a sports tourer that errs on the sports part of that title.
Of course comfort is down to the individual, their preferences and their shape.
Some prefer a more upright stance and they've fitted variobars or some-such .... so even if it doesn't fit you straight-off, chances are it can with minimal effort ...... but please don't blame me if it doesn't work for you
I think you'll love it though - there are few that don't.
