Quite a big bike, especially as I'm a short ****...

other than that, it's awesome. Goes like stink, excellent brakes and handles brilliantly dispite the suspension being setup completely wrong.

Aye im small like (5'6") but the falco isnt too bad. I had to play with suspension though to make it suit me... Though im no expert. Maybe worth getting it setup right tbh.

Thats what happens when you thrash a tuned engine for miles on end

Nice!

If I were to get another bike it would be a Falco. I'm thinking of getting one next winter.....BUT do I need to. Thing with my SV is I love to ride it, it can be ragged hard everywhere and you know what it's doing and it's so much fun. The falco has a certain wow factor I love and it's very understated, but fear for myself and my licence should I get one.

Think I'll be keeping the SV..............as well as buying a Falco?

I wouldn't bother the Falco does everything the SV does but does it better. Its SOOOO confident in the corners its unreal the engine loves to do anything, cruising thrashing whatever, if you want to go through the twisties in 2nd gear screaming in the top few thousand RPM its happy to, or grunt along at 3KRPM in top.

It is true though if you do get one your right hand will have to learn some discipline.


Test ride one some time and see what you think... probably the best thing to do... not like me and cyphertheory who just bought them there and then.
