Well, as of next week, I'll no longer be a Falco owner although I will still have an aprilia.
I've done a deal on an RSV-R. Dripping in carbon, ohlins and OZ. Gilles rearsets and twin underseat exhaust conversion on it too. Its stunning and I can't wait!
I've got a couple of bits for sale off the Falco which I'll post up when I know whats left.
I'll stick some piccies up of the RSV-R when I pick it up too.
Paul.

I can understand the temptation. Bit like ditching the wife for a hot ...........no that's not very PC and I can not imagine why you would do such a thing.
Enjoy.
Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can enjoy today

nicew one - sorry you have lost your falco but look forward to seeing the pics
not as much as i look forward to seeing what bling you will be posting but.....
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...

Hi all,
Have you noticed he informed us in the general aprilia section, NOT the falco forum
He has no choice to buy another aprilia, don't you paul
Seen the pics in taz motorcycles, peterborough.....
My warranty is the clear/smoked tail lights around the corner!!

Greg, I had to be subtle. Yes, it is the one at Taz. Like it?
As for keeping it Aprilia, I don't know what you mean??

Well done Paul - let's have a look then as soon as you can. Still keeping the Prilla faith - that's good.

I'll post some photos up when I get it.
I have to keep the Aprilia faith in a way given I've got the aprilia lion tatooed on my upper arm!

Good to hear you've changed for something that will help boost the other Aprilia forums on here.
We met another RSVR owner at the Aprilia day and have tried to persuade him to join us .... so we could have a few of you before long.

I'd love to see some pics of that. I wonder whether the Falco would look good with a similar set-up....
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
