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

Very nice machine. Would be very high on my list (probably top) if I was looking to change the TRX. Enjoy! 8)

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?

yep it's been at the top of my list of a replacement for ages.

I might have to get me one of them in the winter, my restriction runs out in a couple of days so . . .

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?!

I saw a Falco yesterday and, well, yes, it did look very nice. 130bhp you say? :D

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