I like the Futura, but it is a bit thicker through the midsection. Plus its heavier.
I wore my Sidis today and sat on the Falco. No fit problem at all. I sat on the MTS too. Not sure I can get into the riding position...just too sit up and beg. Felt odd...I kept wanting to lean forward.
There are adapter plates to raise the rearsets on the Falco, and they can be flipped after a bit of Dremel action. But I seem to fit stock. I have two bikes in the sights right now. The '03 in the pic above, which is at 6500 miles, has warranty for another 10 months, and a bunch of extra parts, etc. $7800 asking. But it's 1000 miles away...which is good because in order to register it the mileage has to be above 7500 (thanks DMV). The other is a local bike at a shop that just had the 10K service done. Has helibars (like the other one), an Ohlins shock upgrade, adjustable levers, Puig screen, and Vince pipes which I need to swap out or find a custom pillion peg solution. Asking $8300 for that one, same color scheme.
Both are above "eBay" prices, but are pretty much known quantities and well cared for bikes. Pretty tempting...
