The Aprilia Falco (also known as the SL1000) was a roadster that slotted in between the race-replica Mille and the sport-touring Futura. I thought it was slightly confusing – unlike the Tuono, it wasn’t much more comfortable than Aprilia’s sport bike at the time. To make the Falco stand out a bit more, Aprilia offered a limited edition “Streetfighter” kit for $2,000. THe kit includes a new front subframe and fairing, fenders, handlebar, ECU, mirrors, adjustable steering damper, and more. Just 60 of the kits were brought in to the US.
To me, the Falco Streetfighter is a beta Tuono. But this is much rarer, and arguably cooler because of the rarity. For more on the Streetfighter kit and how it’s the perfect bike for hooligans, check out this article from Motorcycle-USA.
This example has less than 8,000 miles and it’s said to be in great all-around condition. Find this Falco Streetfighter for sale in Huntington Beach, California for $4,500 here on Craigslist.
