Funnily enough I was looking at a Tuono at Premier a few weeks ago, the sales guy said he had taken a falco in p/x for it.

If I get the chance I'll pop in and have a closer look at it for you, but my work diary is all over tha place at the mo, so no promises.

However if you can see obvious corrosion on a photo you can bet the bike will be a lot lot worse in the flesh

I wouldn't worry about a little corrosion johndoe it's easy to fix and even less about spelling :smt003
Just use any faults to haggle the price down :smt002

I have never seen so many used falco's up for grabs falcoholic, if I had a bigger garage I'd buy them all :smt020

Falco 9 that would be handy if you could drop by and see it. If i dont get a bike soon its not going to be worth it as the idea was to figure out and do all the mods needed over the winter.
Also might be worth waiting to see the proposed faired 750 as proposed in MCN.
Are you going to the bike show Faloholic, all the ads are appearing ?
