Nice! But 1500 miles - whats it been doing for the last 7 years? (says he who only did 2000 miles last year)

Good looking Falco, great choice. Welcome!

1500 miles

Deserves to go to a new owner who might actually use it

At that mileage it may still be on the original tyres (Metzler MEZ3). If so, dump them immediately - they aren't worth wearing out - I've never found anyone who doesn't think they are abysmal on the Falco - thing just doesn't handle with them on there.

Others will confirm I'm not exaggerating here.

welcome! That's one low mileage bike you got there, I've only had mine about 3 weeks and i've already added nearly 1000 miles. In fact my poor bike currently a 2005 with 6k miles is going to be worthless in a couple of years if i continue actually using it

Well, it's standard now, but I've got a rear hugger and lower fairing ordered and being painted to match.

Why not keep them black and paint the rest of the bike to match - go on, you know you wanted a black one really

Welcome to the site and just leave your credit card details with us, we'll sort out the rest.

Welcome aboard GRF. Good choice of bike there.

Astonishingly low mileage - you didn't mistype that did you ?

welcome aboard, I thought I was doing well with 1700 miles on the best and fastest colour, Bronze, but 1500 mls on an `01 bike. I hope the oils been changed, you dont want seven year old swilling about
