Look's very nice. Shared a pit garage with a Falco the other week - first time I had seen one in the flesh. Not really my cup of tea, but looked very cool :8

The Falco's what the SV wants to be when it grows up Very nice!

That bike been resprayed? Never heard of a blue one before. Looks good!

some idiots put an aprilia badge on it

Nice to see a fellow falconeer. I cant see your bike (at work) so will look later. Check out the forums over at http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/f...splay.php?f=60. Good set of lads N' Lasses and will tell you to spend your money on a few mods to make them go better... not that they are really needed.

Let us know what you think.

Blue isnt common but it is a out of factory colour.

Hehe. Im here. I wasnt sure I was looking on the Sv forum when I saw the thread, I had to check...

How was it round the track, I hear they are pretty good, appart from getting left behind on the streights by the moder IL4 thou's... Guess its all down to the pilot though. Ill have to get on the track.

Indeed. Quite similar in a lot of respects.

Falco's are known FOR reliability. The Rotax engine is bullet proof. The only failures Ive heard of is the side stand switch... In which case earth it to the frame and off you go again. Sigh.... hope I havn't spoken too soon.

The middle section of the fairing has been painted, would have been unpainted black plastic ("Styling" according to a 'prilla sales person, cheap according to the possible 'prilla purchaser,me. ). The belly pan is aftermarket. De-badged too.

Looks miles better painted.

Nice one.

It was an OEM colour

hey guys

yeah it is an original colour, but de-stickered and the belly pan colour matched, i prefer my bikes without the clutter that some manufacturers put on them (hideous late model kawasakis spring to mind :P )

i just sorted my insurance so im picking it up on tuesday next week

thanks to Paws for her help earlier too
