Good luck with the Capo! I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it. I'd love one but I'm not quite ready to swap my Falco for it. As a matter of interest, what's your inside leg measurement? I suspect that I may not be tall enough at 5'9" and 32".

Yep, be interested in a review when you've put a mile or six on it.

Yep - please stick around and ask whatever you like about your Capo .... but as you'll be our forum expert, you may have to answer your own questions

Enjoy

Hi Dusty,

Am 5'7" inside leg 30" I have already been out on the bike, yes its a lot bigger and has a heavy feel to it. I can get both feet on the floor, tip toes only, I am in the process of getting a lower seat.
Will let you know how it all goes, from the small test ride i had its very very smooth, and easy to ride, another plus side is i dont have to worry about the fast idle on start up, as its all auto, so hopefully no more flooding.
Will kepe you info'd

Stick around Clint, like the Capo, but i've got ducks disease ( my arse is too near the ground ), so it just doesn'y fit me.

Hello all,

just a quick note to let you all know the bike is great, and faster than i thought it would be, plenty ot tourque, goes very well, a little top heavy but i will get used to that, and its so smoooooooooooooooooooooth, the gearbox is a delight, as is the clutch. all in all it suits me better.
i will get some pics online tomorrow, going for a run in the highlands

I bought a Capo last year to keep the Falco company and do a bit of touring and I was similarly impressed with the bike. It's spot on for the bumpy, twisty roads here in the lake district and although obviously down on power compared to the Falco I don't think average speeds are much slower (unless the red mist comes down on the Falco). It is a long way up though - I don't find it too much of a problem (6'1") but it is funny watching the Mrs (5'0") trying to climb on the back.
