i do love this topic - comes up every six months or so and always gets people animated
later today jadaris will post her views after her first ride on a falco....
the thing is, the falco - no matter what colour, is an incredible bike ....
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...

....this for the can't be bothered working out what they're on about is a reference to the fact that (I think) custard does somethings that both solids and liquids do - you can walk across it if you move quickly enough (they tried it on that brainiac show).
I have a dodgy old silver framed, blue falco - I like the black framed ones ... esp those with black powdercoated mille swingarms like the one listed in the MCN for sale section ...

He'd leave wheeltracks though, alongside the ephalump footprints.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.
