It wasn’t much of a hill, but for the tractor-trailer, dump truck and overstuffed minivan in front of me it was a mountain that caused their speed to drop like a fumbled pass.
From the moment you first see it, soak in its exquisite lines, and sit on the Falco, you realize this is a solid piece of engineering by a company that understands the soul of a sportbike.
But the Falco is a sports machine made for the street, and although the riding position is aggressive, it’s far from punishing when you're droning along in a straight line.

It's only fitting then that Falco is a "clone" of Fox, which means he plays almost the same as the character he is based on.

For a guy like Tav Falco to have been playing since the late 70's and then release something like this twenty some years later is perhaps the greatest mark of artistic integrity one can have.

When the sun was a-settin on the 1980s a memphis howlin commenced and the guitars was out of tune and everyone had to stand on the whiskey licked floor and take their turn at the big drum or the mic.

 Aprilia SL1000 Falco R - Road Test & Review - Motorcyclist Online
In the Falco R, the engine is slightly less powerful than in the pre-'02 Mille, entirely on the shoulders of a different injection and ignition chip and exhaust system.
In the Falco, this heavy-breathing engine is cinched down in a lovely semitrellis aluminum frame that provides a 10mm-longer wheelbase and slightly different steering geometry than the Mille--it's got the same 25.0-degree steering-head angle but packs 2mm less trail at 97mm.
By the measuring tape, the Falco is the double of the Mille--29.6 inches to the bar and 17.5 inches from the comfy seat to the bare aluminum pegs--but it has twice the effective handlebar rise, at 3.2 inches.
