Different, very different. Shouts very loudly at having been crashed at some point.

Sorry, but I like the arse end.
The front however looks like summat off "scrapheap challenge".

i think it is so ugly it qualifies as a ten pinter

and that arse end - decent idea, crap execution imho

Must admit it does look like it has been "thrown together" with not much thought

they could have at least painted the wheels to match ...and removed the remains of the lions heads (if that's what they are!) from the lower fairing panels

Only my opinion.

I'd change the bars and use it purely as a trackdayer.

I agree with most of you, it hideous. One thing is very interesting, though. Side panels cut off (covering the ugly space behind radiators - always a problem with fighterized Falcos). I'll ask the seller for higher res pictures...

I'll go along with Fausto, it should be illegal to do that to a black Falco.

Oh I dunno, some may say the best thing to improve a black one is a hard frontal into concrete

'no test rides without £2500 in my hand' which is a good guess at what he's expecting but a mint standard '01 would struggle to make that, hope he isnt desperate for the money

. Makes me feel better for my amateur efforts at a tail unit anyway

Urghhhhh.

The arse on it looks like a cereal box and the fronts a cheese grater/wash board.

Xaust looks like an overheated coke can.

who'd want to own that
