Anybody ever thought about these?

Alright folks, getting a bit bored of the quite quiet falco looks... So I'm curious, what's the opinions on some of these?

I'll stick my neck out and say I rather like alot of them... Am I being daft?

There seems to only be one kit listed for the Falco.

Admittedly it's one of the better ones - but personally speaking, converting to look like a mobile advertising hoarding doesn't really appeal.

See I like them... But I don't know if I like them enough to warrant the hassle of it...

i think with things like that its a very thin line between it looking good and it looking crap, personally i dont think i would do it to my own bike but i think if done right on the right color bike it would look nice and very different as there wont be very many falco's with racing stickers on

You know... The more I think about it the more I'm thinking no... Really can't see it going down well with the black and bronze... Therefore I'd need to spray it first to get a louder base colour to really set it off... Too much hassle for me...

IMO, the only one that didnt look like a pizza gone wrong was the Alitalia.
Not a Falco kit, not suitable for B an Bronze.
Just be happy with one of the sexiest bikes ever to grace tarmac !

Must say, I prefer the simpler colour schemes that the Falco came in from Noale... Even the yellow one... :smt016
Two is the magic number... ;)

But you have a beautiful bronze one! Gilding and lillies springs to mind.

Of course if you had one of those boring single colour ones... :smt016
