    If it sounds like a sowing machine, you'll need more than loud pipes...
    Not so bad if it sounds like a sewing machine, though!

    Welcome aboard (just watch out for the picky buggers here, OK)

    Welcome to K.B mate. Not familiar with the Felco. What size is it?

    ...

    Its the "Falco", and it's a FRICKEN NICE 1000cc beast. Would have bought one had i been able to justify the xtra $. Always the way.

    And the Yoshi's are a real good call... i've got cyclones (not as deep as RS-3 hence suzuki gave them away, but far better than stock pipes)

    Never heard a stock Falco, but if it's anything like stock SV pipes i'd replace them as fast as poss... something about a real sound - even dangerous threw his stock guzzi pipes b4 he'd done 500km (and sold the VTR...)

    Go the Yoshi's...

    When I purchased my Falco new in 2000 (first one registered in NZ) i Had the Factory Carbon Fibre and chip fitted before I rode it, it sounded f'n awesome and went even better,apparently Staintunes in Oz make them in Stainless which would be a better option. Go to Apriliaforum.com and ask there,awesome deals available. Happy hunting

    I'd get rid of it.
    It'll wallow in the corners and attract pigs
