Don't know a whole lot about them except that a pal of mine owns a '97 that he bought used.  He beat the hell out of that thing for several years and about 20k miles... no problems yet.

I'm curious to know more myself.  my GF was talking 'next-bike' the other day and the F3 vs F4i topic came up.  I really didn't know too much about the differences.

20k abuse and still fine.. sounds good to me...

from what I read, common problem is cam chain tensioner lever.. but easy fix with manual adjust one.
