get a new one with NO miles for 7583 OTD in chattanooga. My .02
Ive got a budget of 7800ish for a bike. This includes taxes, registration, ect. What do 4i's usually run?

Im really upset that everyone knows where the good deals are and I dont. Everyone is selling for MSRP+ here in St. Louis. What the hell?
the F4i here goes for 7200 OTD. They will not charge you anything else- you take care of tax, tag, and title in your own state. Your not that far. Probably worth the trip if you want NEW. Southernhonda.com is the site. You can get a quote online.

DO NOT PAY MSRP($8999)- another dealer in Chattanooga tried that crap with me, so I went downtown to the other dealer saved $1416 with no questions asked. I say this so much in the forum, I should go work there! Good place though.

That bike with that many miles alone isn't worth 6 let alone all the other crap thats wrong with it.

As for the front tire....It might be inflated too much or it had a puncture and he inflated it. Cause when i got a screw in my tire i inflated it to 40psi(way too much) and i had to muscle the bike in the turns.

1) Needs rear tire.

2) Front tire? I dont know, but when I leaned to turn the handlebars were hard to keep strait. I noticed that the middle portion of the front tire was risen. Is this what made the handelbars turn as I leaned?

3) Missing front turn signals and rear signals with licence plate bracket...How much would that stuff be?

4)When blipping the throttle under load there was a squeeking noise. Is the squeeking ormal?

5)It warmed to 226* Is that temp normal?

6) The linkage from the shifter to the tranny seemed to pivot a lot. Normal?
1. this bike has been doing burn outs
2. you say the front tire was bubled out on the centre - this indicates that it has come down hard from wheelies on several ocasions (look @ the fork seals i bet their wet with oil)
3. might have been droped if its missing a front turn signal.
4. never heard anyone mention athe squeaking nois you speek of, sounds abnormal.
5. this is normal if you are in trafic, stopped for a pirod of time or riding in first or 2nd gear for a while.
6. i dont know what you mean by "pivot" but it should rotate a bit on the top and bottom bearings.

hope this helps... sounds like this bike has been abused.
