I reckon that you don't really like the falco, and you're just trying to justify the fact that you spent too much money on a TL-wannabe that you don't really like...

Why I aut to!!! :p Im very happy with it. :D I think the TL to Suzuki is a Falco wanna be... It isnt as dangerous and faster/easier to ride.

I felt slighted thats why I bit. It didnt sound like G was having a laugh, read a little like a Adult talking to a child saying "your opinion doesnt count". :(

Anyways whatever, I know what my bike can do.

More about how much power you're putting down that absolute lean angle, blueSV650 has a cool photo of his tyre after a race, there's still a tiny chicken strip despite the tyre being well cooked.

Aye but the SV's tyre is MEGA pinched... Saying that the 600's tyres are also pinched with their little 5.5" rims and 180 section tyres. :(

Cart how far off the edge are you on the front?

My bike is similar to an RSV with the same measurments but supporting a different frame and swing arm I.E. They look different but do things exactly the same (Plus shocker which is crap, will be changed) everything else is the same (engine, though mine has 2 into 2, brakes forks electronics et etc.).

As already mentioned, no they are completely different and have the same similarites between a TL1000S and an SV650S. Technically it is not the same engine, different cylinders and hugely different internals (I have seen thsi with my own eyes). Different frames, the RSV's is far superior, and suspension let alone characteristics.

No offence to you 'TheGr33k', I agree that the Falco is an excellent bike for the road but fast road riding is its down fall as it is well known and documented to not offer much feed back to the rider. It handles well but it is vague, compare it to a bike like the Firestorm, RSV, 999, 04 onwards Fireblades and R1's etc and you will notice.
