Nope. Was ..............and still is....... the non turbo. But still nice for Summer days when I'm not low flying.

Had it too long now to get rid.

I had the GPz turbo version, nice engine but the handling was not up to that much, used to sound good and take off and stop well though.

I have started taking the GF out on the Falco lately, she is fairly new to biking and absolutely loved it. had to take her to the BMf to get her own gear and all.
She went out on a friends bike the weekend and found it a little slow but very comfortable.
Could in part be the riding style, as the mate who took her hadent pillioned before- but she said the bike felt more comfortable- and less like she was going to come off the back!

My wife was the same. She sat on the bike before I purchased it and she said there was plenty of room on the back.

Purchased the bike, took her on the bike and she did not like it. She felt she was going to come off the back.

So..............

Purchased a top box rack and top box along with a non slip seat cover and now she is happy as Larry and i going to spain with me in October.

I hate the top box but when se is not on it I remove it. The rack for the box is very descreet and so am OK with that.
