Got the Falco taday and 'o yes'.
Much much better than I thought it would be. Silver 02 23k miles. Comprehensive history till 18k and 2 previous owners.
Cans and chip. Full braided hoses. Modded stand. Mesh to rads. R&G crash bungs. Tail tidy. Datatwat alarm. Rear pod. Original cans [unused]. Clear headlight guard. 2 different sets of extra winkers. A box of various relays and bits. All original bits came bubble wrapped. Sounds as sweet as a sweet juicey sweet nut. Fabulous condition for age. 6 months mot, 6 months tax.
Needs approx 200 quid on bodywork to make into a really nice bike.
Cost me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,£1400.
Do I sound chuffed ?

Sounds lovely, Nob. Welcome to the throng. However, if you think this lot will let you away with spending only £200 on it, think again! Enjoy.

grats

and less than 100 db i believe


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...

Loud but not obnoxiously so. Lovely deep note, great rumbles on the over-run.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
