Who's was it?

#1 Post by wayofthedarkhand » Tue Jul 31, 2012 4:05 pm

Popped into Norfolk Super Bikes earlier today for a nose around.

I can't say it's my type of place. A bunch of locals standing about smoking, but I heard the older guy chatting to a potential customer about a Thundercat, and he certainly new his stuff. Usually bike sales people are par with the purple shirted monkeys at PC World, but this guy was well informed and stuck to the facts.

Anyway I digress. I popped in to check out their Falco (for shits and giggles).

Silver 02 19,000 miles - £3.1k - with dark smoke double bubble, belly pan, and carbon can co silencers.

Overall condition was much tattier than mine, but it seemed solid enough. It still had the original shock and side stand. It's certainly .overpriced. Reg number was RO02 VNT.

This falco belonged to a guy on the same rig as me,,,,he didnt register on here.

The older guy youre talking about is andy tooes,ive had 4 bikes from him and he's always been fair and honest with me,sometimes he's overpriced sometimes a fair price,but to give him his due,his aftesales commitment is excellent.
i would recommend him,,,,but thats just my opinion. :smt020

over priced by about 1000 imho


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...

Must be the cost of the waterproofing
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

That explains the shock and sidestand then..
