The body-bags would put me off. Previous potential purchasers?

Novel. Start with a Mille then add goodies from a Falco! Was never an R though surely.

Something makes me think this is a cobbled together pig

At least he had the decency to paint it yellow.

To be fair, it does improve the looks of the Mille...

Anti-lock brakes?

I had those on mine before I bled them

Coventry eh. It's nothing to do with me, and I don't know who it belongs to either..

So was it a Falco that was written off due to frame damage and somebody obtained a Mille logbook and rebuilt/re-registered it as a MIlle.
It does show how close the two bikes are, I would not have thought you could fit all the Falco bits that easily. The rear subframe, seat, tank and fairings all seem to have a natural fit.

Well that IS a strange one

Guess they picked up yellow Falco parts cheap!!!

As Will says it's listed in Cov - never seen it round here either - though obviously I don't get to see all the bikes round these parts.

From the ebay seller name it seems probable that it's being sold by someone of the female persuasion (just an interesting observation - I understand that in these enlightened times they are permitted to trade online)

That whole advert seems a bit didgy to me - description reads like those instructions translated from Chinese - by a chinese!

Well my thoughts are that the mille panels will fit the falco.
I am looking for a track fairing for my new project and the company that we use does not have falco ones listed anymore.
I would imagine with a fairing bracket off a mille maybe the mille track fairing could be grafted onto the falco?
Interesting

The thing is, they don't ..... unless ones from certain years do and other years don't
