2003 Aprilia Falco SL R, Due to my need of a better mpg-friendly commuter bike, I am selling my Falco. It is a blast to ride, with tons of torque from the Austrian made 996cc V-twin Rotax engine. Producing a unique, exotic throaty exhaust report this beast really turns heads. It has 20,000 miles (still going up/commuter/driven about 3 or 4 times a week). I purchased it in August 2013 with 12,900 miles. The vast majority of the miles I put on are highway miles commuting between Brenham and Bellville. It is garage kept and while at work it remains covered. This bike has been meticulously cared for and pampered by this 37 year-old owner. Never "stunted" nor raced. Oil changes are performed every 2000-2500 miles. I have the history from the original owner including the original purchase order. Tires are Pirelli Diablo in front and a Pirelli Angel on the rear and tread life remaining is about 45%. I know what the Blue Books appraise the 2003 Aprilia SL 1000 Falco R for but they do not account for the following upgrades: Ohlins TTX remote-adjustable-preload rear shock - $1290. Ohlins internals in front forks - $325 Blue Flame (European brand) carbon fiber exhaust - $475 Power Commander III USB - $360 Sprag clutch assembly (replaced last month; not figuring dealer-labor into this price) - $370 Brembo brakes from factory Gabro custom EPROM chip (Adds power and reliability) Oberon clutch slave cylinder (This bike has a hydraulic clutch; Oberon for increased comfort and control) $153 NGK Iridium spark plugs and 8.8mm high performance spark plug wires Carbon Fiber front fender-dash-face surrounding the gauges-top of triple clamp and tank protector. Evoluzione Billet shorty 54mm velocity stacks, Evoluzione open airbox kit and high flow air filter, factory de-restricted with Aprilia Falco airboot, Heli Bar risers (raises bars about 1 over factory), Skidmarx tinted Double Bubble wind screen, Sargent driver seat, have both rear seat and separate cowl for solo riding, Superlite JS7 rear sprocket and D.I.D. 525 VX X-ring chain replaced 3 months ago, fender eliminator, integrated tail lights and rear blinkers, flush mount LED front blinkers, black Billet control levers. The clutch has heavy duty springs and kevlar clutch fibers. The ride height at the rear shock is adjustable on the shock and at the linkage. I'm 6'5" so it's at the highest setting of both. This bike is fairly "mellow" below 5000rpm but once it hits it goes ballistic so I do not recommend for inexperienced riders. Will trade for the right 2001-2005 Yamaha FZ1, Suzuki SV1000 or another comparable bike.I may ask for money on top of your bike depending on value. Thanks for looking! $4,900.00
