F4i started on 2001 F4 is 2000

 

ive also realized that since i started the thread. styling on the 01+ f4i is a lot better.

 

Just as a reference, I ran a 11.10 on my bud's stock F4i with a less than stellar 1.9 60' time. No matter what people say, they are NOT slow bikes by any means.

 

ive got a modified 00 zx6 (exhaust/header, chain/sprockets) for 4200 if you're not set on a honda... 14k miles or so.

 

The body style of the F4i changes beginning in '04 I believe. Once Honda determined the RR would be their official "race bike" they had to differentiate the f4i from the RR because they both looked similar and were the same size. Now the f4i isn't as sporty. If I wasn't too busy I'd go find a picture of the 01-03 in comparison to the new F4i. They definitely used the banana seat on the new f4i and is hideous (IMO).

 

well i am 5'11 and 225lb and i have been riding mine for over a year and i still get scared by it in times. off and i drive an f4 (carbed) no matter what anyone on here says the f4/f4i's are excellent starter bikes and overall bikes. i know people who have been riding for years and they just buy newer f4i's and sometimes the 600rr too.

 

just picked up a 05 600rr for the wife awesome bike, very light

 

I rode an F4i for quite some time and never tired of it, in fact I'm looking for another right now....
