The main thing that makes Falcos thin on the ground, is that when you buy one and really get to know it, you never want to sell it.

I'm in my eighth year with mine, and will never sell it while I am still riding.
(Best bike I've ever had and most reliable).
There are many others who have had them for a long time.
BenWah probably has the longest relationship on here, he's had his around 12 years.

.... plus any on a SORN

Seems a bit odd to me as it suggests that there were never more than 400 on our roads and that there are more Shivers than Falcos.
I once saw a Shiver parked outside a dealers but I've never seen one on the road ... and I've seen a good number of Falcos.

i think the figures are for taxed bikes per final quarter per year, so ...

First time I realised that Falcos have something in common with GT550s!
