The tires are tubed. Pirelli mt 60's standard.

Falcon Tyres

Hi,

I have just bought a 2008 Falcon in Salvador, Brazil. The Falcon model ceased production in 2008 by the way. I just had the tyres replaced and as I recall there was an inner tube. I believe that is normal for spoked wheels anyway.
Good luck with your trip!

I am not so sure about that. Honda Chile still sells them.

Yes, the tires are tubed. You can have spoked wheels that take tubless tires, but the tend to only come on the largest of adv touring bikes.

Both are right. Honda doesn't sell new Falcons in Brazil, but they still produce this bike for export. In Brazil we have the EURO 5 emission standards for motorcycles and the old engine used on the Falcon doesn't fit in those emission standards.
