I don't understand. Why the Aprilia Falco? I would think that the Aprilia Futura 
was a much closer replacement for the Sprint ST then the Falco.

BRG Sprint was stolen a few weeks ago (found-crashed, waiting to settle 
with Progressive). In the meantime I've been using my friend's VFR every 
day.  It's a great bike with a high fun factor. It's more flickable and loves to 
lean.  But it's got more vibration, less wind protection and IMHO is not as 
good a high speed tourer as the Sprint.  Popular bike though - seems like I 
see a couple of VFRs every day.   Then I rode a Falco and decided to go for 
it.  It's as exclusive as a Sprint, plenty of fun, good ergos, great engine, etc.  I 
still love the Sprint but I'll wait till 2005-06 to see what happens.
