"Those are beautiful bikes."

Agree. It was a nice bike. The rear shock (sachs) that came on those bikes were horrible. All the Falco's that came to the US were wildly under sprung in the rear and had the preload collar cranked all the way down as tight as it would go. Once you tossed out the shock and put a real one in there it improved the handling greatly. It was pretty quick... but the 60 degree V twin left me a little cold...kinda like the Honda RR-51. Those two bikes are remarkably similar.
Soooooooooooooo Now I'm back to my first love..... a Ducati 888 SPO. I can't get enough of those 90 degree V's. :)
