This person is trying to sell you on the concept that the F2 doesn't compare to modern fuel injected bikes on "getting to top speed". They're wrong 
In the twisties is awhole new section. The stock suspension is subpar. With a bit of upgrading though (re-springing, F2/F3 forks, f3 rear shock) it compares quite favorably, and again you won't notice the difference until you're up against an experienced track rider really giving it their all. That's when this bike become lackluster. That number is again, a bit more like 5-10% of all riders and riding situations, depending on where you live. Portland seems to be full of track all stars...

The F4i responds quicker. Power is availible quicker and across a broader RPM range. Top speed.... splitting hairs. Both bikes easily hit Stupid Speed as I said.But I do know both of my bikes. There's nothing here to try and sell. Glad your F2 performs so well against newer bikes.
How much did you say you've invested in your bike?
