Is this a acceptable price for a F4i in this condition?

Way too high man. I just picked up an 06 with 3700 miles in December, great condition just dirty, for 2800 bucks. There are deals out there.

Thanks man, yeah I ditched the dealer ideal and now only looking on my local Craigslist... I guess now I'm eying for a 05/06 636 at the same $3000-3300 price range

slipper clutch, cool styling and a bit more HP

Check out a 636 with decked out carbon fiber fairings and lowering kit plus two bro's exhaust wanting $3300... but I just don't like aftermarket stuff that much...

If you're willing to travel - this is about 3 hours east of you:
01 F4i - $3000
http://shreveport.craigslist.org/mcy/2182107979.html
(guy went crazy with the stickers, but nothing a hairdryer can't take care of.)

05 ninja 636 - $3900
http://shreveport.craigslist.org/mcy/2182331670.html
(pic sucks, but there's a couple of shreveport guys on the forum here - you might be able to get them to give it a look-over without having to travel)

04 636 - in cadedo Mills, TX (not too far from DFW) - $3100
http://shreveport.craigslist.org/mcd/2181854409.html

so - look around, there's better deals to be found. Don't like something about what you find, walk away - something else will be around shortly.

Yep, agree with most others on this site. Bike is priced too high. I purchased my 06 with 1100 miles on it six months ago for $4800 with several mods, including an Akaprovic slip on for $4800. The guy also give me a like-new Alpinstars jacket and a helmet. If you are patient, you'll find what you want, save some money and then take the dough you saved and buy some mods. Good luck.

You have to think in terms of what the actual fair market value is - not what some one-off bike sold for.

I bought my original F4 for 600 bucks with 7k miles - doesn't mean every F4 is now worth $600.

That's quite a few F4i's being sold for under $3k, though...

We aren't saying that they are only worth $2k, we're saying that if you are patient, you can find a great deal out there... If you need one now, you're at the mercy of the seller...
