Yep - spotted that this lunchtime.

Would be a great time to sell ...... if it weren't a better idea to keep it :smt002 :smt003

The thought of selling mine did cross my mind this week. Probably forget all about that when I eventually ride it again :smt003

The latest edition of TWO also has a full page feature on the Falco. It comes out top in a test against the VTR 1000 and the SV 1000 (no suprise really) and gets a very favourable write up - i.e. " I'd forgotten how bloody good these things are". Just my thoughts as well having dusted mine off for the first time this year today. I could also sympathise with "why put the horn where the bloody indicators are supposed to be" after beeping my way round a couple of roundabouts - a winter riding the suzuki has recalibrated my left thumb!

I shan't be sellng mine even if it does put a few hundered on the price.

Yeah a few dry days and the chicken strips are disappearing fast - even without going anywhere on interesting roads. They've not gone yet but the rear ones must be 7 or 8mm now .... could measure them in inches a week or two ago.

A bit of grip after months of slipping around certainly adds to the grin factor.
