Very nice

But it looks like some bastard has stolen your exhausts and fitted some anchors instead....


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...

Super...

Pros
The wheels. Like I stated earlier: 'wheels should be clearly different from black and not discreet/understated. Since tyres are quintessentially black, rims should stand out from them. - Smart wheels are the vehicle's jewellery... '

Cons
The rash - that my front fairing has in the exact same place, although on the left side!
'00 Falco fire red w/35.000km. New to me in '12.

'tis very nice. Especially the wheels;

i think that the bellypan may well have originated in belgium.....

(I could be wrong as i cannot recall the last time i saw one!)
