I think you will find that it used to live near Inverness......


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...

So it's known about then.

Ah is that the one that used to be on gumtree?

I guess the sticker and the crash bungs are the identifying markers.

Don't like the lack of price tho, makes me think they're "lets think of a number an apply the screws"

Thankyou kind Sir, must admit I don't like the page layout though, it really does look detached.

Isn't that a bit over the odds though? How much were they new?

I got rid of that horrible fazer 600 :smt078
In all fairness the fazer was a good bike.
I have recently discovered that a power commander is required to iron out the massive flat spot in mid range.
I was not sorry to see the fazer go, I have something far more elegant sat in the garage now :smt003

I have been on a course today and called off at a benelli dealers and looked at a nice looking red one. 5 grand although i think it is the base model,plus 100 quid registration
When at mallory i asked the owner about the differences in the machines and the LE version has loads of carbon and light weight engine casings, And Maracheshi wheels
These LE versions were 14 grand brand new with only 150 made
He also told me the only weak spot is the alternator drive shaft which should be replaced.
I think when the timing is right i will be looking at one of these for my next bike not the LE to expensive. But to me they are stunning.............
Well they are italian after all.

Ah so you were saying the one on gumtree became yours - not that the pictured one for sale is yours !

Some threads get a bit ambiguous - and not just those with Pete in a pink hat ....
