I have a friend looking at this, but to be honest I've never ridden one and don't know much about them. Does anyone have an opinion? Is $3900 a steal or a ripoff? What do you think?

Bertha had one. Send him a message and he'll talk your ear off.

You could pm Chad23. He had a Falco, actually, I think he bought another one. He always talked very highly of the bike. Even after having a few Japanese liter bikes.

26k miles

that is nothing for the Rotax v-twin. i'm at 27k on mine and Siobhan had almost double that when she sold her Ape last year

A fried of mine loves his, about 50k miles or so. If I didn't have my SV I'd be all over that Falco.

Rotax motors start their breaking in period about 20k and most Falco owners who sold them have mentioned that they wished they'd have them back since they're ridden without any, or hardly any issues, until 65+k. Unlike Ducs, Aprilia rotax motors rarely need valve adjustments routinely...

The Mille/RSV was raced up until I sold her with 26k

The '07 RSVR just turned 19k, stock battery, and I'm keeping her until at least 65k+ :doublefinger:
