SV to Aprilia Falco?
A friend of a friend is selling a 2004 Aprilia Falco and after reading some reviews online it sounds like it could be a good step up from my SV650S.
I'm just interested to hear if anybody off the learned org has got one or ridden one and if so what their thoughts are on it. I still like my SV, but it sounds as though the Falco may be going for reasonable money so it might be an opportunity to upgrade. Suspect the insurance would rise quite a bit though. |

Re: Aprilia Falco
I can't think of anyone offhand who likes one on here....
 Seem right enough when you sort a couple of little reliability niggles.

Re: Aprilia Falco
There was this one guy on here who bought Falco and then spent a couple of years sticking RSV Mille parts to it to hide the shame!

Re: SV to Aprilia Falco?
Some wiring needs modifying, I don't think it is major. Seriously PM "the Gr33k" on here or I'm sure he'll be along to say how ace they are in a minute!

Re: SV to Aprilia Falco?
Whaaatt? Still no Gr33k?
Yep, done that. Old Git bought one recently as well. As YC said, there are some mods you really should do (solder some extra wires). The other place you might want to check out is here: http://www.ridersite.ws/rs/viewforum.php?f=20 |
