Why Falco? It's just a proper honest bike, not too sporty, not too powerful. I like 'em. And I'd still have the SV of course so it wouldn't matter when it breaks down

But if I'm not allowed a Falco I'll spend it on a bicycle

Yes nick the g33k alluded that his flacos charging system has "character". Suppose you could call it that...

My bike's paint has character. Whole big scrapes and dents full of character. I suspect it's the same sort as is in the wiring of the Falco.

Got to love Italian electronics. I remember pressing the button on my Fiat alarm. Sometimes it would flash... Sometimes beep... ... Sometimes both.

I bet there have been more issues with Suzuki's

I know Dizzy has had some big issues...

Mine are sorted with some simple wire mods. On a while the Falco is good and reliable so far.

OTOH, Suzuki's best seller outsells every Aprilia bike combined, so that's not too surprising

Most batteries will if left a long time. You should have taken it out when you put it to bed... You done the wire mod? If not do it, makes a massive difference.

Like you say though the built quality is very high!
