Way to make a grown man cry. I'll be staring at that for at least the next week.

Mind if I duck under the covers with my I pad..?
Don't give a bugger what anyone says, still better looking than a Panigale.
And before you tell me how fast the Duke is, have you seen what a GSXR 1000 will do to one of those ?
All Guzzies are slow, but I choose not to give a rat's.
It gives me a chubby and I love it to bits.
Don't bother telling me that Roper couldn't shoehorn his redundant Stelvio drive train in there at a date to be fixed.
Then BS your way around the legalities and you're set ...!

I've always been all in with regard to this motorcycle. There will be no slurs from me. It cannot be compared to any other. It had history at the point of introduction and gained more each time it went 'round the Daytona track.  R3~

is it street legal? if yes do you always have to look for a tree to lean it up against or do you bring the stand along everywhere you go?

A lot faster by quiet a large margin, handles better too.

I'm not  a bacon slicer expert but the head of that Arione is very close to the front guard which kinda suggest a Falcone the flipside is I doubt the auction house has it wrong.

The clearance to the front guard appears to be about the same.     The mid-section of the frame appears to be a little longer on the Falcone to accommodate the longer-stroke cylinder.    Look at the relative length of pushrod tube visible fore and aft of the frame down tube on each bike.

Falcone:
