Aprilia SL Falco anyone?!?!

[cc123]

Well............??


I quite fancy one of these next, thoughts?
Fancy a V-Twin next big time but without the insurance costs of the RSV.....



Sick of those pesky Inline-4s.......


Not heard a bad thing about these bikes yet, anyone got one?

I think they look fab. There is one in a bike shop near me. I am soooo tempted.

Hi

Thought about one in the past. Never really heard anything bad about them (except the rear shocks seem to get a bit hot). Always seems a strange bike for Aprilia to build being for such a similar market as the Mille.

All the best

I'm seriously considering one myself. They sell very cheaply on the used market so you get a lot of bike for the money. Top notch suspension, build quality, stonk V-twin, very cabable frame, sporty riding position and if you want it, a lot of noise

Mate.

Crash one of those and the plastics alone will cost you thousands. Its the one thing that puts me off really. Not saying you'll crash again but second hand fairings go for CRAZY prices!!!!

The wait for parts as well is something I wouldn't be too keen on (perhaps kickstart can clear that one up)

I nearly bought one back in december but the deal fell through so got the firestorm instead. They're fairly cheap on ebay with the same lump as the mille (might be slightly detuned - but the rsv engines can fit in perfectly fine )

^^ Got a point there, most Falco's come without the fairing lowers anyhoo.....but full fairing make it look seeeexual....

Realy nice looking bikes have never heard a bad thing mentioned about them. And as loud if not louder than my sv with the stubby can.

^^ I've still not heard a twin as loud as your SV was..EVER!!!

Think I'm completely sold on them, checked insurance and its very good even with my claim on...

I was looking at the TL-R1000 but thats stupid cash for insurance even tho I love them...

Well why not consider even the tls? They arent as wild as people make out it to be.
