yep, the Benelli might be nice but it's certainly no Falco

Trade in :smt017
Not sure about your statement keith about the falco being quicker.
Benelli has 140 bhp
Both the falco and benelli are way too much for me to ride to there full potential :smt018

keef

you have also overtaken fireblades and other assorted exotica.....


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...

I presume to warn Jay that he's about to pass you yet again, you will be allowed to sport a "Slow Moving Vehicle" sign

Sorry for the derail. I liked the idea of the rear radiator but I recollect that didn't make it to all models? I can see the attraction for Jay as an addition to his collection of different coloured Falcos. Maybe its a green theme he's gona get going.
