2001 Aprilia SL1000 Falco review from New Zealand
"Wolf in sheep's clothing"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
No problems yet.
General comments?
This is the best bike I've owned.
It is deceptively fast and will keep up with most on the road.
Not as comfortable as previously owned BMWs, but is still good for 200 plus km on the trot without pain, so definitely a good all rounder.
