For Sale. Aprilia Falco SL1000

#1 Post by Willopotomas » Mon Nov 07, 2011 11:33 pm

That's right boys and girls. You see right. The Falco is now on the market and will be listed on eBay within the next few days. I'll be sorry to see her go as she is such a good bike, but keeping her locked up in the garage for most of the year just isn't right.

Please feel free to PM me for more details and make me an offer. Bear in mind that there are some pretty tasty mods on there. I'd rather not split it as I just don't have the time to do it.

Probably the last decent set of Hilevel Renegades.. Worth buying the bike just to have those!! Theyre worth a few bob.

Strip them off Will and sell them separately. If you haven't got any standard cans I've a few old sets .... some better than others (the "others" are decidedly rough)
You'd also get a reasonable sum for that remote preload Ohlins .... I do have some lovelly blue spring Sach's shocks that could be substituted.

All quick things to change.

Shame to strip such a nice bike of the goodies but you'll get more for it that way.

Agree with you mate. I'd like to see her go as one piece.. Although I'd like to not see her go at all. Having a very young family has put more restrictions on my biking days than I thought it would. I'm not retiring completely as I still have the others.. Just the Falco is seldom used anyway and makes the most sense (to me) to let her go. :smt002

I have all the parts to take back to standard as Gio gave them to me when I bought it from him. Cheer's anyway bud :smt004

Funny smell of vulture shit around here


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
