Buying first bike looking for experience advice
 

Yea I figured it was a good deal that's why I can on here just to make sure of that. All my co workers are saying wait til oct/nov because prices will go down an I can get a new bike for about 4000-5000 but realistically I only want to spend 3000 for my first bike. A lot of people in the military ride. An I think its time a new toy. It'd be smart to wait probably but I'm also impatient. I'm thinking ill go check it. Out sumtme this week

Just keep your wits about you

Yeah, it's a good price. No need to beat up an active duty guy on price. Like you said, they can probably use the money and the difference isn't all that great.

The F4i is a fine beginner's bike. It's light and agile. Just be responsible with your right hand and you'll be fine.

Good luck with it.

I know about the concerns thank you though that was a good article to read during work. But they do make it hard for us to ride on base, pretty simple but stricted policy like helmet, gloves, reflective vest and registered on base are a must. I also just wanted to thank everyone for the solid advice I went ahead an bought the bike, pictures will be up soon! Thanks again everybody.

Congrats on the "new" bike. Be careful out there.

Id Say GET IT , Its A DEAL, hard to find a deal , , But I got a GREAT Deal on my too, under 3k : )

Sounds like a sweet deal. I got mine for 3.8k and, as it appeared, have to do a lot... But it's experience.
Get her! I'm sure you will like the ride!
