Woo hoo. Welcome to the club!

http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/s...d.php?t=182345

Oh look at you on the forums already! ^^

The bikes are supposed to be very good. Engine is same as the early RSV and falco but has a different ECU system.

Good choice mate, id be well chuffed with one of those!

Oh and this should make you feel gooood. Same frame forks, brakes, engine as the RSV. So its got pedigree

Thats pretty much the colour im wanting to make my Falco.

What you think to the pull and the smoothness low down of the motor, and the brakes and the everything? What pipes on the back there?

Lastly what did it dyno at?

Have fun!!!

Indeed

I been building my push rod. ha ha.

Oh, the forks, on the Falco and the RSV people often drop the triples, worth having 5 lines showing above them (above the top triple, not sure how the clip ons go on the futura). Makes it steer a little quicker.
