Bike Info
CC:
1000
Bike Description:
The Falco is the slightly softer cousin of the more sports oriented RSV Mille and serves as Aprilia's first foray in to the highly competitive V-Twin Sport-Touring market.
The 998cc engine revs very quickly and is extremely strong in the lower rpm ranges. But unlike many twin cylinder engines which share that trait at the expense of outright performance the Falco charges on with an extremely progressive curve of power all the way through to around 10,500rpm before smacking the limiter.
