a friend of mine had one a year or so ago, he loved his. he put a power commander on it and said it made a huge difference and was well worth it. never complained of anything that i can remember, bike had lot more power than the gs500f though (in-line 4 cyl.)

One of the brit rags I read said it was a reliable ride.

F4i is by far one of the best all around bikes ever made...just shy of the ZX6R (pre-'03 era, post '03 E...iirc)

Everyone I know that has one loves it.  Horsepower is definitely a big jump up from the GS, but you get used to it.

As far as reliable goes umm HELLO ITS A HONDA they make some great engines from what I have heard and read and the F4i is a great bike If they produce an 08 Im down to get one. For me its between and F4i or an Sv650S Fully faired(08 I think). but great choice and upgrade from a GS
