"Interesting" write up!??!
It was a decent bike that nobody bought.
Often viewed as something of a failure.
Best thing about the Falco is that they created the Falco fighter from it, which gave us the 2ONO.
The ones that were bought are absolutely loved by their owners, (got that right).
Bit more sporting and has more character than VTYR 1000 (yes)
Also holds value better.
There is a nice picture of a Blue spring Sachs rear shock, "which has preload and rebound adjustment", so they seem to be hinting this is a good thing!??!
How far did they have to go to find one on a bike to photograph??
Perhaps they were searching Andy's garage and found a stockpile.

Evidently, "Most Falco's are left pretty much as standard by their owners....... so little to fear when buying this characterful, and slightly quirky Italian V-Twin."

Didn't find our site details then.

TBH who cares?

Most of us are never selling so resale values are not a real issue.

It's our little secret and as long as we know how good it is, that's all that really matters.

As for the most of them are standard rubbish - I maintain that mine is the standard and I can't help it if most of the rest are sub-standard.
