   HI all, Im and new to this forum. Greetings!

I have just put in a deposit for a used Aprilia Falco, model year 2000 with almost 38500 miles on it. Im getting it for a bargain or I think I am and want to check with you all a few things- 

a) are these engines really long lasting? approx how many miles can I do on them. 

b) Servicing : the last major service done on the bike was at 26k it probably needs one now.. but what does the big service require and how much will it cost me? Is it a normal service with valve clearence?

c) I intend to do long rides more like touring and I like the v twin feel, is it a good idea to buy a falco with 38k on the clocks or should I go for less mileage?

Please, any advice will be much appreciated..

and thanks in advance.

Josh
