Selling my Falco

#1 Post by falcofreddie » Thu Mar 31, 2016 4:05 pm

Well, after months of indecision, have finally opted to sell my Falco - just not using it enough to justify. Will be putting on ebay in the near future, but thought I’d see if any interest here first.

Have taken off rear shock to sell separately:
Ohlins from a 2000 RSV-R - Part number is AP8230 which is a direct bolt into the Falco, using the existing linkages and dog bone. I bought it in 2012 and was told by owner that it had come out of a bike that had done 15000 miles since new. I had it overhauled by John at Revs Suspension (though have somehow lost the receipt) and it’s set up for about 90 kilos weight. I’ve only added another 1200 miles. Difficult to get a good sense of price as few around – some seem to be going for about £350, so will sell for £260 plus postage cost here.

Falco: Bronze 03 reg. Mine since 2009 and has had two previous owners. Mileage: 17200. Pretty much full service history from dealer and local garage. Just been serviced and new MOT (to 30.3.17). Two keys, user manual and service book, garaged and on trickle charger all the time, so in good condition.
Very good condition – one very small scuff (about one centimetre square) on o/s fairing top. Pirelli Diablo tyres front and rear in good condition. Rear seat hump and pillion pad.
Extras include Scorpion cans with removable baffles to make road legal; mini indicators; rear hugger; Oberon clutch save cylinder; braided hoses; paddock stand and trickle charger included in sale


This bike is in really good condition, sounds and goes wonderfully – I’m looking at £1850.00 here – I guess more if it needs to go on ebay.
I’m based in North Norfolk – so a nice trip out for anyone wanting to look in the Spring weather!

Replied to your PM about the Ohlins but for some reason it's stuck in my outbox. Can you message me your number?

It stays in your outbox until the recipient logs in and collects it

Falcofreddie has been having difficulty logging in - not sure what caused it but I think I've sorted it.
Hopefully you'll hear from him soon.

Looking forward to it though I will have to send it off to be re-sprung before I can fit it.
