11K isn't much miles for an F4i...i would go with 03 with lowest miles and price...so that's the one with the D&D, but check to see if it's ever been down, etc.

I would go for the one for 5k.....just check the bolts on the instrumet panel, upper fairing stay, if the bolts look like they have ever been removed that might not be the correct instrument cluster=not actual mileage....you can have 20k miles on the bike and buy a new gauge cluster for 200 bucks on ebay making your bikes value go up 1k

All of these bikes need to be considered by not just miles, but condition. Don't forget, some owners can break anything the day they bought it. So mileage can mean nothing.

the 11k one is just short of the 12k service mark... so you might end up spending some..

thanks for all the responces. especially the one aboutchecking for the "correct instrument cluster".. never really thought about it, didnt know you could do that. im really just trying to get an idea of what the all might dollar is going to get me. right now my (self-set) budget is about $5000, for bike, helmet, jacket + misc..
