Noober that is an amazing price, especially considering the damage to your right fairing. Tell that guy to give you the cash and you'll give him the keys. I use my 07 RR to commute daily, not to mention I'll go on 200+ mile rides every now and then and it is comfortable. Different from the F4i sure but not uncomfortable. Nate will back me up here when I say I have no regrets selling the F4i and moving up to the RR. The F4i is a great bike but the RR is that much better. Take the money and run.
I agree. I went from an 04 f4i to an 07 RR. It is just a better bike. It is definitely less comfortable, but it is not uncomfortable.
The only thing I do not like about the RR is that it is extremely uncomfortable for passengers, compared to the naner style f4. However, if you don't take passengers, I would highly recommend selling and upgrading as others have already advised you.

I don't know from firsthand experience and I only know this 1 instance but it is the only friend of mine that owns a 636 and thank god he had a warranty. His brain died not once but twice on him along with other problems (I can't remember exactly what they were it was a good year ago) I think it is a great looking bike and I have rode it and it does have a decent get up n go.
Also agree that its not as comfy as the f4i but is not uncomfortable.

Thanks everyone. Ryan I emailed you.
If everything goes as planned, the F4i will be sold tomorrow for $4000 cash. I plan on, and have my eye on a 2008 graffiti RR at the stealership. I AM NOT ONE to EVER buy from a dealership, esp since here in AZ you pay no sales tax on private vehicle sale, but I don't see any decently close deals on craigslist for a 2007/2008 RR at the moment...the F4i was my only form of transportation so I might have to bite the bullet, get raped at the stealership (even tho I know how to talk down and walk away so I'll do my best)...the one I'm looking at has 3000 miles on it and they want $8,500 lol...unless theyr willing to let it go for $7000 out the door tags/tax (and even then im getting raped) then ill still be looking...bikeless
If I could only find a pearl white 2007 or graffiti black 2008 for $5k then I could buy it privately
Edit: Or maybe this guy will flake (doesnt look like it though) and I'll end up keeping my baby for a tad longer...we will see!

Blake, Good luck with the sale of the F4i. $4K is a damn good price. Be happy with that. However $8500 is raping you on the 08. Maybe bikes hold their value more in AZ where you can ride it all the time 
. Buying privately would be ideal but sometimes you just cant. Hopefully the stealership will work out a deal with you. Good luck man and let us know what happens.

Edit: RDub is right about that price being absurd. I got my 09 last year with 800 miles on it. Puig tinted windshield, yoshi slip on, fender elem, and seat cowl for 7 grand flat.
Thanks Kuro. Ya i Know the $3950 is a decent/good price, I am just not so sure if I should make the move to a newer 05+ bike just bc the $ is there...I love this F4i (esp since I commute) and dont know if I will regret it should I get a more ergonomically aggressive bike such as a 2006 zx6r or 07 cbr rr...
ive got an 07 crr 600 rr and i love it. its a good bike i paid $5000 for the bike, it has been kept up with very well with services and keeping the bike clean!
