Saw a Falco near me recently for sale that looked something like:

Did a little research and it seems to be a Superhawk with better stock suspension and bhp? Kind of like what Honda meant to build, but couldn't due to the RC51? I love the look (and sound, of course), but would be concerned about the higher entry and maintenance costs.

Does anyone have any experience with this bike? I'd even settle for completely biased, ignorant-of-the-facts opinions just for kicks.

Dang, that is a good price for a Falco..

They are good bikes, the engine is made by Rotax (SkiDoo) and are fairly reliable. The Falco is a Semi-Tourer a bit more upright than the Superhawk, about the same power and a bit heavier, but probably better suspension (stock that is).

 

Yeah, been looking around last two days and that's the best deal I've seen. Have to assume it's the mileage? sounds well cared for..

 

I don't know about maintenance issues and parts availability, but the Falco is a neat bike.

 

Nice
