cheers paul

interesting, and a few parts were obviously changed... like the mpg for a start!

they said it was a 21 litre tank - my arse!


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...

I reckon its a well written report in all one of the better road tests I have seen, some detail was wrong but he knows a bit about bikes.
Ive owned my falco since 2001 now and covered around 38k reliable miles its still one of the best road bikes Ive ever owned and I have had a few, what a pity aprilia didn't make anymore but it will be a classic one day for sure.. :smt001

Can you trust the ramblings of someone who likes the rear shock and thinks the Mez3 is the ideal choice of tyre??

Other than that, a good read.
