New Horse in the stable...

[SlimDizzleATL]

After long deliberation and thoughts/prayer/advice from you guys I have settled on a new bike. I chose the 2001 CBR F4i. It came down to an 06 FZ6 and this. And this edged it out by a small margin. So far I like it. I was a little hesisitant of the power at first, but after a couple of hours I felt alright. The only gripe I have is the seat is hard as a rock. Sitting on the Kat was like sitting on a La-z-boy, this is like sitting on a barstool...Other than that its great. Here are some pics.

[Lazarus]

Nice bike. I like my Honda and heard nothing but good about the F4i.

Yea banana seats are way more comfortable but the handling will make you forget about your arse.

[bluerider]

Nice ride congrats.

[patri0t]

Nice ride bro! Hope she treats you well. And I always like the Two Bros exhaust. :up:

[DoctorDug]

Come onnnnnnn. take it easy on the kats.

[Lazarus]

Nah kats are great.... for catching mice. :crackup:

[SlimDizzleATL]

Come onnnnnnn. take it easy on the kats.

Never will I hate on the Katana...It was a good starter bike. But to compare...this is like going from a Buick LeSabre to a Ford Mustang GT. Well, maybe not that extreme, but you get my drift.

Very funny Laz...I knew everyone was secretly laughing at me, but ask me if I cared. lol

Come onnnnnnn. take it easy on the kats.
I meant mainly in the weight, handling, flickability dept. I had an 01 Katana 750 myself and they're great bikes. No disrespect, most of the people that rag on them have no idea what they're talking about. Plus, I prolly passed a few of them in the mtns. on mine.:)

excellent choice

[Reece]

congrats! :up:

[TGAT86]

anyone know the wet weight on an f4, maybe even the f3 as well?

[SlimDizzleATL]

440 wet and 370 dry.

[secondgen7]

Congrats man, nice choice. And yeah, Honda seats are notoriously board-like.

[A&A Motorsports]

Very good choice.
Looks way better than the banana seat.

[TGAT86]

440 wet and 370 dry.

About 30 less then the kat.

[red98teg]

are you selling the kat?

[SlimDizzleATL]

Already been sold red. Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Good to know I made a solid choice.

Kblask has an f4 with twobros exhaust too. i got to play keep up with him n the mountains friday afternoon and it sounds sick. not to mention on the way home i was in it pretty good on the kat, and he casually strolled by lol. nice bike, enjoy it.
