I bought my Falco at Scuderia. They're offering $800 (or $1000 - I forget) in shop credit. Most people just get the Aprilia carbon pipes and chip. Since I want a high-mount pipe for my Falco, I took the money. I got some boots, Held gloves, a new helmet, a rear stand and a few other things.

I don't think that. The Falco is faster AND quicker than the Sprint. What I meant was the Sprint gets to higher RPMs faster than the Falco does and it feels like it has more power at the very lowest RPMs (like up to 3000). The Falco wakes up VERY quickly though and the power hits like a tidal wave.

You and me both. I loved my Sprint. I wanted a sportier bike, and I wanted to try a half-faired V-Twin. I just got the Falco back from the 600 mile service and so far I'm very happy.
