Re: Confession.....
Ahh! It's close enough. It kind of fixes up all the little things that aren't quite right with the TRX.

Re: Confession.....
Very nice machine. Would be very high on my list (probably top) if I was looking to change the TRX. Enjoy!

Me too. For liking the looks of them that is, not your statement about colour!kr1badger wrote:Nice falco and in the best colour.Always liked the looks of them.

Re: Confession.....
Everyone knows that despite not being a colour, black is the best colour!
The Falco is a very nice bike, I was looking at the Falco & the Suzuki TL series before I found my TRX at the right price!
How does it compare to the TRX?

Re: Confession.....
Me too! Before I bought my TRX, I was looking at Falcos, but I never saw one at the right price. I still fancy one though.
But ... when they design a twin spar frame, why don't they have a vertical fillet between the two spars, and thus get (for negligible extra weight) the stiffness of a "H"-section beam? Other bikes make the same mistake with fancy swinging arms that still aren't as stiff (or as strong) as they could be. Is it fashion over function, or just lazy engineering?!

Re: Confession.....
Fell completely under the new girls spell I'm afraid....trixie's gone....local bike shop bought her after putting her there for a service.
Now where did i see those Ohlins forks for sale......and so the search for that perfect bike goes on.

Re: Confession.....
118 actually, the RSV is 130 and the Futura 112. All the same engine in slightly different states of tune.
