06 F4i/first bike?

Ha ha! Better not. It's too sexy! I want it bad. They've had I for a while now. I'm trying to save up for atleast half for a down payment. Don't make fun of me but I finally got a hit on tryin to sell a trumpet I've had for a while for around 600 bucks. I think it's worth it consider how nice it is and what it originally costed me. Hope the guy buys it. That'd be a great start.

I started on a ninja 500 and am glad i did ( even though i just layed down the F4i )
Much easier to learn the fundamentals on a smaller bike IMO, they are lighter easier to move around at low speed where it really counts, a bit more comfortable as well and are much cheaper to buy and insure.
I would always recommend someone with limited to no motorcycle experience start on something like a Ninja 500 ( ugly can be had dirt cheap ) ninja 250 ( old ones are ugly and cheeap, new ones are really nice looking and i think like 3k. I also think suzuki does a gs500 but have heard its a bit heavy blah blah.
Their is a good chance you wouldnt have an accident on the f4i, but you may learn slower on it then you would something else.
Oh and wear full gear ( helmet gloves boots jacket AND pants ) may save your *** some day.

Thx for the advice man. Ya I do plan on getting full gear. Really confused on boots tho and what to get. I'm about a size 10. But I don't know what kind I should get. I'd be taking it out just to ride and come home not really to commute on. So some good boots should definitely be invested in bc I plan on long rides
Oh and if you have little to no experience i cant recommend taking a motorcycle safety foundation course, its normally a 2 day class with class time and mostly time on a motorcycle, at the end you get your motorcycle license.
It all adds up rather quickly but its worth the peace of mind that lets you really enjoy your rides in my opinion.

I went with and recommend full racing boots ( i have sidi vertigos and love them ) and also full racing gauntlet gloves. Make sure your jacket and pants can zip together too.

Thx man! That's good to hear. May be a strange question. But do you know if you can do an under tail exhaust on an F4i? I really like the look a whole lot more so if I could do it then it'd be done that's for sure
