Yeah, I paid more for mine back in 2007. Looked the same... But they don't state the mileage, do they?

Hi all,

If you check the pics, there is some damage on the near side of the top front fairing

Guess it has had a fall sometime

Maybe, some damage somewhere?

Good looking bike thou....

Been looking at the photos and must say i couldn't see what you mean .............anyway bit late now as i brought it !!!!! Ya hooooooooooooo........

Drove all the way to silverstone ( from penzance ) to see another one with more mileage ( not a lot different though ) but it was £700 more ..........anyway i wasn't happy with the small £3600 he offered me for my Edwards Rep RSVR so decided to buy the other Falco and try to sell my Edwards myself ............just couldn't let it go for so little !!!

Have had a chat with the guys selling the Falco and the mileage is 2870 miles but the photo is showing Kms ............anyway i won't get to see it till monday but the guy says it's in top nick and nothing wrong with it ..........one owner etc etc ..........fingers crossed lads i haven't f##ked up !!!!

Will let you know when it gets here ...........

..........

RSVR 2003 Edwards rep for sale now then ..........5000miles and a full history and all the bit's and bobs if anyone wants it .......£4400 ovno ......

Yeah i think those carbon stickers will be covering up a fairing scuff.

Both the crash mushroom and the front fork-slider on the RHS show damage (yellow on the 5pm position, all-black on the LHS) - looks like it may have been down in a low-speed low-side, but may not have sustained damage elsewhere cos of the mushrooms. Hopefully I'm wrong, but just give it a once over, check the mirror edges, bar-ends and the exhaust (quite often touches down in a spill) for scuffs, also check that the brake & clutch levers are pucker Brembo levers (not replaced with pattern ones). Also check that everything looks straight, try and chuck a leg over and check that the bars "feel" straight

I've also got some eggs that I can teach you to suck when you've got five...

firestarter ....... thanks for the pin points i will be checking on arrival ...........again have spoken to the man and he's saying all is OK and no problem with the bike at all ............we shall see .................Just had a call to go back to work this weekend as well so will be having to wait another two to three weeks before seeing it anyway ...........GUTTED

IF THE EGGS ARE WORTH SUCKING THEN GO FOR IT ...............ANY INFO IS GOOD INFO .....

I'd be worried why the seller is saying 'nothing wrong' when the bike has clearly been down.

cornish mafia · #10 Post by **cornish mafia** » Thu Nov 05, 2009 5:31 pm

Right .............now you lot have put doubt in my head i have yet again rang the man ..........i asked him straight to the point has it been down the road and NO was the answer ........dropped and again NO was the answer ...............i asked about the brake levers and clutch all being OK and his words were "everything is as it left the factory " .........i will let you eagle eyed people know the truth as soon as i see it myself ..........trust me when i say i will be going over it with a fine tooth comb when it arrives ..........well if not me then a good friend who knows his bikes !!!

If it has some little scuffs here and there then i'm not fussed at all BUT if it has been down the road then i will find out ..........i hope !!!!!!

Still excited about getting it as i've got about a grands worth of goodies to add on already ...........Ohlins shock .......new chip for ecu .......evo airbox from Mr Hook at RSVR forum ..........braided hoses ......... tailtidy ........etc etc .......some good evenngs in the garage for me ......better get the heater working !!!

By the way anyone know who won the SL carbon cans on ebay last night ??? I bid £323 for my final bet and lost out by a tenner ...........

Looks like it's going to have to be the GP stubby ones and a chip ..........loud loud loud .........

Hi,

Am not ssure who bought them as I was looking at them as well, have you had a look at Fuel-Systems exhaust?

tbh - with other mods being done, i would not buy the fuel cans - they are good, but with rene style airkit from Hook (Its not an evo type!) and new ecu, I would go for blue flame or similar

just my thoughts

D-Rider · #13 Post by **D-Rider** » Thu Nov 05, 2009 6:03 pm

Fuel - yes I would certainly recommend them - they are very well made and the company are great to do business with. I placed my order a few years ago at the NEC show and they could not have been nicer or more helpful.

The can ("carbon effect" stainless) has been fitted for a few years now and I'm very happy with it.

i was happy with mine tbh - but just feel that other cans may be better

Hi there Cornish Mafia, if you want loud then you cannot go wrong with these:

I have the Warrior style on mine and with or without the baffles they sound great...... V loud without baffles, just ask Firestarter he got a blast from them on the susspension day

A couple of pics so you can see what they look like fitted:
