Aprilia Falco SL 1000



Launched two years after Aprilia’s RSV Mille, the Falco used the same 60º V-twin engine used in the RSV range. Since not every rider wishes to ride a committed sports machine like the RSV Mille, the Falco offers a more relaxed sports-touring ride. Its 998cc engine has a lower stat of tune, producing 9kW (12bhp) less than the RSV Mille. But despite the lower power output and relaxed riding position, the Falco’s chassis is a highly specified as the RSV. Showa upside-down forks and a Schas rear shock are both fully adjustable, and the Brembo brakes are rave-spec items. In some ways, the Falco has rather fallen between the two stools of the firm’s RSV and Futura. The RSV is more suitable for track work, while the Futura is a better tourer.

Congratulations Aiden. This is just the beginning. I have owned my sl for about 6 months now, I opperated a suzuki gsxr 600 most recently. Prior to that I was on a yamaha xj 750 and a few others before these. I can honestly say that I have upgraded when I picked up the aprilia. This machine offers comfort and performance. I just recently road with a couple of friends, one on a honda f1 600 and the other on a hyabusa. We ran the track a few times, each time I was able to lead the pack untill the busa took over on the top end of the races. I know you will be pleased with your machine as well, ride safe and keep the rubber side down.

Bull shit the top speed is 160, I have a stock falco that I've taken her up to 156 in 5th gear (there's 6) at 7000 rpm's my redline is at 9500 and let's not forget 6th gear, I haven't had the chance to check it at the track yet But I think top speed is closer to 200, I hit 160 on 600cc bikes but the falco will go past it

trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this
problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.
