Hey guys, long time no talk..

So i walked into the local Honda dealer today.... and i fell in love with a bike...

I had been researching bikes, and found the CBR600f4i to be on the top of my list..

WELL... they have an 03' BEAUTIFUL specimen.. 3000 miles.... immaculate.. could have eaten off the triple.....omg....

It was perfect.. even has a yosh pipe already...

I think im taking it.. probly gonna be 100 bucks a month and trading the gs in...

Im still debating, but well see...

hey man if you're unsure of the money, wait for that ZZR600 to come out. It's gonna be a steal at 7199

Did I say that out loud?

This one:

and yes, that was me on SBN. there's a big group local to me that I met up with at Angeles Crest. Turned me on to the site but I'm not there often.

Any good pictures there?

paternoster2012 · February 15, 2005, 05:45:54 PM

how come it is that everytime someone poses with their bike they get an interupting cell phone call and the person taking the picture doesnt even wait till they are off the phone to take the pic? or is it a status sort of thing? :dunno:

Hey man, long time.

Im just kidding. I was gone for almost a year.

The F4 looks like a sweet ride.

Rashad · February 15, 2005, 07:34:13 PM

OK, pablo... i have always trusted your opinion...

how do you like that rr? That was my first choice... i love those!

pantablo · February 15, 2005, 11:00:56 PM

I absolutely love it.

The F4i and the RR are both great bikes. The rr is definitely more focused. Rode with a guy that had a F4i and we compared-RR is a MUCH more aggressive riding position and has less comfy seat (rr seat is like plywood for anyone heavier than about 140#).

Both are good canyon and track tools. I think I am no better off on the rr on the track or canyons than if I were on a F4i, the performance differences are minor to average riders like us. Buy with your heart though. I prefer (obviously) the looks of the rr but if you dont dislike the F4i its probably a better all around tool-comfy, more storage, good in the twisties. I prefer the more focused bike though.

Having said that, I'd never trade "down"... :nana:

Yours sounds like a good deal too. What color is it? I love the red on black.

Rashad · February 16, 2005, 11:23:00 AM

It is an immaculate bike... It is Red on silver.. and for some reason it seems not a lot of people have the 03'

I mean, go to a cbr forum.. and its like "my 02' f4i".. "my 04' f4i"... i dont think i saw ONE 03'... odd...

But yeah, i want to be a little different.. thats why i had the gs, and most poeple have gixxers or r6's... so... this bike it perfect.

pantablo · February 16, 2005, 12:10:29 PM

I like that color combo myself. One of the classic combos on Hondas (think RC51)...you'll enjoy it.

'Cause he wasn't posing when I took the shot. In fact, I was hoping he didn't mind that I SNUCK the shot.

pantablo · February 16, 2005, 12:55:41 PM

yeah, I took a call bcause I was riding on a FRIDAY so business still had to take place, you know?

Kerry, I didnt even know you took it until you posted it and frankly I dont mind at all...good shot of the bike...

cruz878 · February 16, 2005, 05:36:03 PM

Hey Rashad, just out of curiosity how much are they asking for the bike? I found a 2002 F4i w/ 1200 miles outside of Philadelphia and they are asking $5000. Haven't seen the bike yet so I dont know if maybe there is some fairing damage or something, the description didn't say and I can only see one side of the bike from the picture.
