I did ride a blackbird for a bit and I enjoyed it but it wasn't really exciting under 100mph

As my esteemed fiend @KungFooBob has indicated, an Aprilia Falco is a lot of V-twin goodness for stupidly small amounts of money. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l2632&_nkw=aprilia+falco&_sacat=422 You do need to like V-twins though, obvs. Those twin ca...
