Three Falcos spotted on Sunday morning

1st - a very clean one on the A548 Llanrwst to Abergele road

2nd - that green one riding through Ruthin

3rd - red one passing the Ponderosa on the Horseshoe Pass

I have never seen more than one Falco in 1 day before this.

I spotted 11 in Newark the other Sunday

..... saw one in my garage this morning too ...... wonder if it still works ....

(2 weeks to go now ...... though the mrs tells me there's no way I'll be riding in 2 weeks - just because of a few twinges over the weekend - going to have to grimace more subtly from now on ......)

I saw four in Bristol on Saturday, though one of them was mine.

Yep - I saw one at Mallory once a little while before you got yours. I don't think it was the same one - certainly didn't have the exhausts you have (though they could have been added).

I think there may have been 3 - 5 of them but, again, that's a bit of a guess based on the rumours of them being produced for the NEC show and then those few being sold over here.

I've got the standard red model Falco and was around there on probably that Sunday, was overtaken by another Falco rider also on a Red Falco. Yep I though Falcos were rare. Seen another black one the week before on the Ruthin to Wrexham Road.

Stopped at the Ponderosa on Saturday to discover that my sidestand was coming off and wouldn't go back up! Oops!

Hi bikefish and welcome to the site. You're another on on MY roads. Where are you.
I've also seen the green one up here in Llangollen

Hi FlyingKiwi,

I try out a few different routes around North Wales, originally on my Kawasaki zx9r, but now on the Falco. I am based near Seaforth in Liverpool, but any chance to get out on them lovely Welsh roads and I am there.

Never get tired of section after the Horseshoe pass, the Nanty Garth Pass on the A525. Brilliant twistys there. Just been to Llyn Efyrnwy today in the car with the missus. Some great roads on the way for the bike.
