At last somebody who thinks the same as me, that makes two of us who prefer the Falco Swinger, we're nearly as common as Tuono members! (sorry Rich).
I always had the same view, don't get me wrong, Banana swingarms are great, but on the Falco the standard one just matches the unique Falco frame better. Might be different if it improved the handling but everybody agrees it makes no diffrence.
Don't suppose I'm convincing anybody!

P.S. On a Black Falco, you don't have to paint it!
The black sets off the frame and the swinger perfectly.
Interesting thought to match the later frame though, be nice to see how it works out.

I think the fact that we can agree to differ, and still love the same bike speaks volumes.

Personally, I prefer the banana swinger - I like the flowing lines and roundness it brings, but the opposite argument can also apply....

Having said that, I t may also be down to the base colour - I think that some colours just suit the mille swinger better, while others don't
(Am waiting for images to prove me wrong!)

Owning a Falco would be very boring if we all did exactly the same thing.....

Ive yet to see a Nuclear Red Falco with a Nuclear red RSV swingarm, but one day no doubt I will.

That red suited the Speed triple, reckon it'd suit the Falco too.

Right then here it is. Take two!
After trashing the last one, courtesy of white van man, I've finally got the replacement back how I want it.
Some nice new Carbon Quill Evo2 cans, White Mille shock, Tinted lens, Carbon hugger and I fitted the repaired belly pan today
