    Thumbs up I'm back

    In the Falco fold

    Got a real beaut yesterday from a nice lad up Newcastle way. Already had tonnes of mods, all very well thought out. Mille 4 pad front brake with dual lines, Ohlins rear bouncer, Gilles risers etc to name a few. Get this though,,,5200 miles

    Here she is




    Sun is peeking through the clouds so I might just go for a lil rip After I've sorted that stand out

    The future is single

    BUT the question needs to be asked. To Fuono or not to Fuono ?

    I have never seen that bike in Newcastle! The black swinger looks really good with the ally frame and love that rear rotor.I even like the red wheels, very nice ,that's a keeper.

    Thumbs up

    Had an early black Falco ages ago and loved it dearly for a couple of years and 14k miles. Like a nob I saw a shiney new Rsvr one day and threw the bird at it. Ho hum, spent the next 18 months turning that into a Falco. Failed and bought a Tuono which is definitely a keeper. Anyhoo, a while ago I got the silver one with a bit of cosmetic damage, painted it black and Fuono'd it. Toured round Scotland on it and a few other nice runs for about a year and like a nob sold it to fund another project. Been casually looking for another ever since and this one popped up. The chap who had it never got the chance to ride it in the near 10 years he owned it due to injuries at work and daft stuff, but, like a true Falco fettler continued to mod away like a trooper.
    Looks good dunnit, fast and understated, kinda.

    obviously it has had the RSV oil tank and oil cooler transplant to accomodate the single exhaust ?
