Tell me about the Falco

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi, I own a Mille and can�t see myself selling it anytime soon  but my wife wishes to join me on the odd ride, so looks as if I got to buy a second bike. Briefly considered the Duke ST4 but  wanted to be able to get home on the bike rather than tow truck. So not wanting to look at a Jap bike (but they got a few good options) and don�t want to spend a arm and leg on BMW  I have a couple of questions about the Falco. No 1 does the top yoke have fittings to accept standard  type handle bars, slightly more upright? No 2 is this bike suitable for pillion passengers for longish rides?

	You'll need to buy a set of raisers and get some spacers made up, or obtain a MkI Tuono top yoke to fit handle bars, and you'll need to trim the fairing as well. No idea about pillion comfort.
