Mmmm.... carbon wheels!

(In a Homer Simpson kind of voice) & thanks for the kind words TN. Need to start saving now...
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
Best looking Falco or mod you've seen??
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 .....

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.

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