I hope someone can provide some info about the Falco. Have come across a great deal on a hardly-used one; want to better understand the bike first. Any thoughts on throttle sensitivity (e.g. on/off switch?) and suspension ability to cope with bumpy roads. Appreciate the help!! Thanks!

Hey,
I own a 02 model, great bike!!! The throttle is a little sensitive, but you will get used to it, I think it is a function of the FI. I live in Vermont and we have the worst roads in the country, and the suspension works great.

If you find a great deal on a Falco grab it or let me know about it. This is one of the most under appreciated Motorcycles in the history of mankind! I've got RSC Carbon cans and EPROM so yes the throttle is a little twitchy, not too bad but get ready for the wheel to rise in a hurry! Comfortable and smooth are the best way to describe the suspension. If you are looking for track day super star get a Mille but if you want real day ergo's with the same power get the Falco. Track days are still a blast with the Falco!
