Oh I see... I guess RSV's are also barge type bikes?

Have you ever seen a Falco?

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.). Guess thats crap.

I have been to the edge of my tire so I know what its like.

One other thing, ive pushed it a little too far and had to pick it up as I felt the back tire falling off the edge. That was brown trouser time. just enjoy the corners imo.

Well its not an RSVR if it has a different frame is it... if it was an RSVR it would be EXACTLY the same and called an RSVR and not called a FALCO wouldnt it...

Not being funny or owt, but you need to take a chill pill I'm pretty sure you were having your leg pulled.. and not before time either I should add

Aye I said at the front of the post if it was a joke... It's just there were no ha ha, he he, or in his post so it felt to me "what do you know!?".

No the frame isnt the "same frame" but like I said its got the same dimensions etc. So its practically the same. I think they wanted the Falco to look nicer in its semi naked state and the RSV frame is a munter once its got its cloths off.

Anyway. Guess none of it matters. Sorry.

I daredn't ask!

It's one of the Harry Enfield & Chums Scousers...if you've never seen it it won't make sense (from what I've said) but if you have - you must know what I mean!
