Default Would a F4i be a good starter?

Hi, my MSF course Is on July 11th 12th and 13th. After I complete my MSF course I was looking Into getting my first bike which will be an F4i ( Is this a good Idea? ).

Also I am looking Into getting either Icon and or Alpinestars gear with a Scorpion helmet.

hey man. well i got an f4i for my first bike and 2 years later i still have it and love it. it was a little wierd getting used to the power band (the msf course i took had a kawy 250 ) but got used to it in a week or so. they run hotter than most bikes and are picky in the cooling system dept but other than that about 7000 miles (14000 total) and mine runs better than when i bought it.RELIABLE.

IMHO, a 600cc sportbike is not a good choice for a first bike of any make. The F4i is a better choice than a 600RR tho. And dont worry they will be plenty of guys post up saying a 600 is fine to start on then you can get a 1k next year. Just ask how many tymes they dropped em all lol.

f4i was my first bike, and like PlayfulGod said, i dumped it 3 months after i got it. but, as a new rider you are more prone to dropping any bike no matter what it is. a 600 would be a good beginner bike if you take it easy and pace yourself. just dont top it out the first week you get it and then start asking how to do wheelies......

You should be OK . Be careful and never think you are the master of the bike!

If you have previous experience with motorcycles then yeah you could rock it. But if not, then look at getting something smaller. remember No matter how good you think you are the bike is always better

I think a f4i would be a fine bike to start out on.

And right now you get FREE Driven grips with any Scorpion helmet at Riverway Racing.
