Best looking Falco or mod you've seen??

#1 Post by TwinNut » Mon Mar 19, 2007 12:00 pm

Thought it would be interesting to start a pics library of everyone's favourite Falco or Falco mod. We could use it as source of inspiration for the incessant bike meddlers amongst us (including me). I'll start the ball rolling with these pics, although I could just as easily post pics of F9's (nee Gio's) or Tweakers bikes as they're both excellent bits of kit and right up my street.

I've got no idea who owns these bikes but they both look mega........

The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.

The Black Falco (the slow colour) belongs to one of the AF1 forum members and it is one seriously lovely bike

"No expense spared" springs to mind as there is as much carbon fibre as I've ever seen on a bike

Beautiful, just Beautiful!

Well seeing as it says

Here's the best I've had and as for the mods well there's a few, but most are hidden.

As far as looks went the exhaust was the best I've seen on any bike with the way it fits close to the bike and without loads of sharp corners in the pipes.

Not the most contemporary paint job I've ever seen.........but I should have been a little clearer, I meant Falco Mod.

Have you ever seen the Mods on this forum?
..... well, if I'm anything to go by, "Best looking" will be a very relative term .... I'm certainly not expecting to win that one.

Oh no - so now it's just between me and F9 .... I was hoping we'd at least include the Mods from the rest of the forum.

Mind you, from time to time my mum tells me I did come second in a bonny baby contest ..... :smt053

Yes you should have and the pics awful as i took all the decals off it in Photoshop when I was 1st using it.

If you want to look at pics of the bike over the years you can see them Here and Here

I'll be putting up an article in Bike Revues soon to stop derailing you further :smt003 :smt006

Yes you should have
It being a Falco forum I thought it would have been pretty self evident, obviously not.

Nice bike there fella. I'd have thought that red wheels would look almost as bad a pink rim stripes but they look quite smart and suit the bike really well, good job......and Foggy eye's as well, if only he wasn't a whining 'ol dickhead - I used to think he was 'da man.

Also gotta say that whilst I'm a black (Falco) man that Silver is easily the second best colour. Those clear rear lenses (sorry D-R) suit the silver coloured Falco even better than black.......but I'm still not selling mine. :smt003

I always thought these would look the Mutts Nuts on a Falco.
