oldbie soon to be returning to the fold
Just a quite hi to say I'm coming back soon. I have sold the YZF750 after having a blast of a year and a half on it, but it's time to get back on a bird.
The YZF is a fantastic bike, but it's lacking that V-twin engine (yamaha should really look into this market as it's the only fault I found on the YZF) so I have a proverbial pocket of cash and shall be having a look at a couple of Falco's this weekend.

Glad to have you back ..... though I thought that Yam was a keeperwayno wrote:Just a quite hi to say I'm coming back soon. I have sold the YZF750 after having a blast of a year and a half on it, but it's time to get back on a bird.

Can someone remind me, is it possible to reset the total mileage anyway? I want to know for when I'm looking at bikes to make sure they've not been clocked
This was on ebay 6 months ago and to my knoledge was sold by a forum member.
Very nice bike

Tolerance will be our undoing.
The Yam was supposed to be a keeper but I soon realised that I could sell it on for a tidy profit, and that if I'd done many more miles I would lose that window of opportunity. The handling on it was super sweet, but I was missing the v twin pull.
I saw that one, looks very nice, unfortunately it's at the opposite end of the country and I'm on holiday next week. Going for a look at a couple down this way this weekend, and if I don't like them I'll resume the search when I get back to blighty.

i believe I may have just purchased one of the few still restricted Falco's in history. I need to investigate fully but a quick glance under the seat and the wires all looked intact
I'm almost tempted to get it on a dyno as I bet there aren't many restricted ones have been run up on one.
Pics to follow, but it is the fastest colour, metallic red.
