Would LOVE to have Griff work his magic, but alas I cant have her off the road for too long as she's my only form of transport!
(That and after all Ive spent on her already in the last few months has left a medium-sized black hole in my bank account)
I reckon if I can get hold of an A1 engine (either Falco
or RSV) and do a 'quick' swap, I could recoup some of my money by selling the original engine along with the silver plastics I have (silver tail unit and front mudguard, plus the matt black side panels).
There's a guy in London who posted on the Aprilia Facebook page that he was breaking a red Falco. I bought the red side panels and mudguard off him last week and they were just as described. He's really helpful and also selling an engine with about 21K miles on it. I'm tempted (he's giving me a good price) but unsure about the fact the bike had been in a crash.
Anyone on here know the bike?
It was a red 2001 Falco.
The side panels have been partially painted black (after an off, possibly on a track going by the gravel rash on BOTH crash protectors)?
Ring any bells?
Just in case someone knows its history...

Two is the magic number... ;)
