Hello all
I bought this off my brother a few months back. I was planning to return to the UK in April and this was going to be my bike there but fate, or more accurately, my employer, has other plans, and it looks like I'm heading elsewhere for a couple of years.
Anyway, you benefit. This is a 2004 Falco, mint, 19K miles, my brother has had it for 4 years, occasional weekend use only. Original exhaust comes with the bike, it is completely unfarkled apart from the clutch slave.
PM offers and any questions please.
Bike will be available from May as I am back for three weeks.

Hey up the best colour scheme too I see
Check the newby posts as at least one is looking from memory
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

He's backfor 3 weeks now as I read it and you only need a White yellow Ohlins or other aftermarket shock get haggling the pair of you so o can vicariously enjoy spending money !

yep, standard shock, which is still working. It's completely original apart from the exhaust and the clutch mod. Recent full service too.
I can sell before May if necessary as my brother can deal with the sale if required.
You will also notice that it is in the best colour scheme, which sadly adds to the value.

i do love the sales patter
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...

They call me Honest John, which is odd, given that my name is Richard.
In all seriousness, I wouldn't sell this if it wasn't for the fact that I'm going to be working in Abu Dhabi for a couple of years. I bought it off my younger brother and he has treated it with kid gloves for years.
I checked out storage quotes and they come to well over a grand for a couple of years so it's not worth putting it into storage.
It's not a good one, it's a great one
