Enjoying the site already

Heres a pic from the guy I bought it from. I'll take more once I've cleaned and fettled it.

Yeah - common as muck.
Should have got something exclusive like an R6 or a CBR600

I want to travel in style and in my eyes the unique twin beam alloy frame helps me do that. Almost bought an RSV at a crazy low price but with no documented service history I bottled out

TBH, I think you got the right one - the Falco is a better road bike.
An RSVR might be more tempting with all the ohlins and oz kit on there already .... it takes time to find all of that stuff and get it put on to the Falco.

Welcome Pete. There must now be the highest concentration of Falcos in the whole country around here. Willingham Woods should be a regular meet place but I never seem to get over the bridge enough.

I think thats what was tempting, having all the top range bits and that swingarm...mmmmm. Pleased with my choice, see the Falco as a relatively undiscovered gem

Hey DavShill, just about to start a part time Gastroenterolgy course at Hull Uni, so will be up on the Falco evry 2-4 weeks

I think you've got in one there, Pete. Road less travelled, gentleman's conveyance, choice of the connoisseur, etc. etc.
