Northy, I tried a Falco, couldnt get on with it at all.

I have a metal hip and anything with a high tailpiece or a wide seat is uncomfortable, hence the long delay swapping.

And anyone mentions a Harley or a marauder will be flooded with spam viagra adverts :P

There's such a thing as a bad example y'know. There's plenty of SVs on this forum that won't start in the morning

I was not the only one on the Falco forum with this problem...

The Falco needs at 14aH battery, it comes with a 12aH unit, which, combined with crap electronics, is a major problem on cold mornings. The starter switch is not particularly good either, which makes the problem worse.

Replace the switch and put in an upgraded battery (if you can find one that fits) and you MAY be in business.

The impression I got was that this only really affects earlier models though? (I looked at buing one a while back, did my reading...)

Consider me corrected... I'm quite glad to hear it really, I've got itchy bum (sort of like itchy feet, but with bike saddles) again

I have found the definitave answer, Suzuki GB has a glut of K4 models, (silver frame) and will only release K5 (black models) with a definate sale, probably the reason they wanted a huge deposit on a SZ.

I dont suppose a K4 is so bad if you get a very good deal on it, list on a black SV1000s is £6049 and I have seen silvers at around £4k

It doesnt affect the 650 as they are all black frames now
