its a 02' with only 5,000 miles on it and he only wants 3600 for it of course there is damage to the bike. When i get a bike it will be my first and i was reading the sticky and it said f2's and 3's i dont know if f4i is diffrent or anything so if you could let me know if im being dumb i posted some pics lets see if they work.
f4i is just a newer version of the f3 in the line of cbr 600s. A very good bike to learn on and a good bike in general. From looking at the pics the plastics are very salvagable. And the tank could look like new as well. I dunno where u are at but I am sure there is someone in your are that can fix it up. (for a reference, the tank and tail fixed and painted factory honda yellow should run around $400) As far as the forks, frame, eng, etc.... Have someone who has an f4i or an actual moto mechanic take a test ride on it. They should tell differences. The subframe and forks are typical areas that get damaged in a wreck. If you feel the bike pulling one way or another when u ride, take a good look at the forks. Also look at the rear of the bike and see if the tip of the tail looks like its not centered with the rest of the bike. That would most likely be a bent subframe.
Just a couple things I find quite often with bikes that I work on. Hope it helps
Ride safe!
