Default From F4 to RR in 27 hours...

I've had an F4 for the past 9 months and wound up selling it Monday of last week and buying an 06 600RR the next day. I've been around the forums for a bit, mostly in the F4 section... but I figured I'd take this opportunity to show off my new ride and introduce myself in the RR section.

Picked her up from Honda of Charlotte, NC.

-4,986 miles.
-Flush mounts, fender eliminator, and integrated tail light all were installed by the PO.
-Very clean
-Runs amazing

What a difference from the F4... I rode it the 200 miles from the dealer back home to Lynchburg, VA and since it was mostly highway, only had a small taste of the turning abilities of this thing... but it tasted GOOD. A sweeping right hand turn on a long exit ramp was all I needed to realize that this thing was made to turn. The effort it takes to bring it into a curve is so minimal compared to that of the F4, it's amazing. It's my first really nice bike that was in great shape when I bought it, so I'm pretty stoked about it.

I went out of town the day after I bought it and just got back last night... and wouldn't you know, it's freezing outside. I can't wait for it to warm up again so I can get to know my new steed. So I'll get to the part everyone cares about... pictures... Thanks for looking!

Don't mind the jacket... it's left over from the black/yellow F4.

Congrats on the new bike mang! I got an 05' and love it! You'll get plenty of happy miles on her.

Dont worry bout the jacket color.... black/yellow goes good with black, haha.

I paid $6300 out the door for it. Thought it was a good deal given the fairly low miles and the fact that the blue book/nada value is right around 64-6500. It also had nearly everything I wanted done to it, already done... except an exhaust. That will come later... when the wife determines it has been long enough to buy something else expensive... haha.

Yea, they were all fairly nice guys. Trent was the salesman I dealt with. He was really cool. Looked like he got clocked in the left eye the day before I got there (all black and blue), so I'll bet he's tough too. Haha.
