Does anybody have serious motor work done?

I don't have any major work done on the bike but everyone has is own mind so if you do decide to do it, please post it!!!

until you run into a modded 1000.... which increases power much faster with less money. in the end... when things are already tuned highly... there is no replacement for displacement.

I'm glad I don't have that "need more" feeling. I do get that with a cage but I've grown up a bit and don't drive like an a$$hole on the street anymore. I've been riding for a few years and my 600 is still plenty fast for me and I think it always will be. Keep us posted if you do go with some modding It's always fun to change things :P

I have been on the track at Philip Island in Melbourne with a friends Aprilia 250RS, and owned both a CBR250RR (MC19) and VFR400R (NC30) which I did track days with there. These bikes all have crazy power/weight ratios and for a guy who is around 165 or so, the F4i feels very heavy and clumsy. I think people worry too much about power and don't learn how to control the weight and balance of the machine. I'd take on an F4i with my VFR any day at the track and I am pretty sure the Aprilia would blow them both out of the water! My point is, if you have to ask on a forum about whether or not you should beef up the engine in the F4i you probably aren't ready for more power anyway...

You're right, that little girl could handle the twisties and hand over the *** to alot of newer bikes. She was a bit heavy but really balanced and a pleasure to throw around corners.
Damn I miss her.
