"Dire" Magazine

#1 Post by scorpio24v » Tue Sep 22, 2009 8:20 pm

I see, the above mentioned organ has placed our beloved Falco in 23 rd spot overall. Not too shabby for a bike that has been out of production for half a decade. It must mean that either Aprillia got it spot on first time, so why the hell did they delete it, or that all the others that come lower down the order are shite...........
I think.

amazes me that the falco did not sell as well as it deserved, only reason I can possibly think is the pose factor within biking "I MUST HAVE THE LATEST MILLE " :smt017

Though as you say, not bad for a bike launched 10 yrs ago.

See above and rearange the letters into the well known phrase or saying.

Apart from the annual survey that magazine is IMHO, aimed at the newby. Some articles make me cringe, while leafing through it in Tescos.
