Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Just put Ohlins on the rear of the 'Rex......brilliant,but then also just bought this.

130BHP of chipped up Aprilia Falco.....Oooooooo it may convert me.

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

Nice falco and in the best colour.Always liked the looks of them.

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!

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 . . .

Looks fine, a worthy replacement if I ever....

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?!

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.

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

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