I've finally bit the bullet and put the Falco up for sale. I am truly gutted but cannot afford to have it as a toy.

So - thank you to all of you, really this has been a goldmine of advice and definitley saved me a few quid.

I plan on coming back though. When the time is right for me to be back on a bike I'll be on a Falco, guaranteed.

Very best wishes and the best of luck out there (especially to mrapriliafalco).

Tootle Pip!

P.S - It's on Ebay, it's the red one with lots of pics.

Just to echo what Ken has said, sorry the bike has to go, but stick around on here until can get get another one!
If you are not riding one you can always read about them.
Hope you get things sorted soon.

All the best mate.

Congratulations for the reason for sale

I went without a bike on the road for far too long while the kids were growing up - but TBH when you have them to look after, the opportunities to ride can be few and far between.

Glad you've a plan for another Falco in the future.
Stick around the forum when you get the opportunity.

All the best

You don't have a belly pan do you?

So sorry that you're having to go, Simon. Hopefully, you'll be back soon but in the meantime, best wishes for whatever you do.

Hmmm, I suspect the Falco has gone now, I hope you got a decent price for it. I decided that I had to sell mine last year to help pay architects fees. I stuck it on ebay but the reserve was not met. This led to a re-think and I came to the conclusion that as the bike was worth more to me than anyone else, I might as well keep it. Sold the motorhome instead. It raised a lot more money (£18k) and got used a lot less often.

Falcos will get incresingly difficult to find - in decent nick. I hope when you come back to bikes you can find what you seek. I know we are Falco-enthusiasts, but there are plenty of good bikes out there.

Mate of mine once said that every kid she has is a bike she can't have. Very wise woman.
