So I dunno. Maybe a VTR after all. The SV thou leaves me cold. But that crappy VTR tank range????
Glad I'm not in this quandry.

To be fair, the root of the Falco's problem was the starter switch and the silly small battery. I beefed up the amps and then took the starter switch apart and gave a good clean and it was fine.
But... I only had it for a few weeks after that, as a philips screwdriver slipping across my knuckles at 6:15 on a frosty morning while taking the starter switch apart was enough for me to put a deposit on the Gixxer that day (and I hadn't even ridden one at that point!). I'd had enough of it.
If you loves twins, want a comfortable bike and can live with a bit of a liability (I mean reliability) problem then you'll probably love it. The lights are amazingly bright, and a couple of good cans make a hell of a noise
I used to call mine "Very"... Cause it was very loud, very fast and very shiney .
