It's sad and annoying when you have something stolen like this, all you can do is look on the bright side I suppose.

If the insurance pay you the going rate on the GS, you could probably buy 3 really nice Falcos!

But if you do get a falco Gio don't try fitting an inner tube at the side of the road, there's no centre stand and not even a half decent side stand.

You offering to lie down under the bike while I whip the wheel off?

IF you can still find one, more like £4,999 (that's what I paid for mine 22 months ago and that seems fairly typical ever since)

Was that brand new?

Yeah, that's what I paid three years ago. That was for a parallel import, but official UK ones have been going for that price for a couple of years. RRP has been £6400 since about june 2003.

Well I hate to disappoint you but a Falco isn't what I want, 5 years ago yes but not now

Yep - a breand-spanker (the one and only bike that I've had from new)

UK model - not a parallel.

.... and Gio, go try a Falco and feel 5 years younger. Enjoy it for a few weeks while it lasts - we know you can't hang on to a bike!

(sorry)
