... Thanks for the heartening responses. No offence taken regarding the 'TLC needed' comment - I'm not the most conscientious Falco owner. I've learned some lessons in the last 3-4 years - not the least of which is what to look for in a replacement one. I was well and truly an impatient pigeon fit to be plucked when I bought mine: stupidly high mileage, stickerless, and sensible-mod free, and a non-starter the 2nd day after buying (crap battery), when I paid £3k for it from a dealer.
Seriously contemplating SORNing this one and going shopping again (pretty yellow one for about £3.4k on MCN). Would do it tomorrow but I'm shopping for another flat with a garage by the end of July.

Yellow???
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...

£3.4k for a yellow one
- sounds a lot to me (and would also be a lot for one of that age in a proper colour)

... With Mille swingarm, ohlins, less than 10k on the clocks and blue-flame zorsts. Was daydreaming about offering 3k or less. What's wrong with yellow? Lol

Why do you think yellowduck has to camp in the next field...
And that is too much

There's not too much yella on it to repaint.
