Default Farewell

I once owned a 1988 Honda Hurricane 600cc, I rode this bike into the ground for 8 years and put over 50,000 miles on it. I then sold it and they guy who bought it, fixed her up just to wreck and total out the bike. I went a few years without a bike and then picked up my 02 CBR F4i. I call her the Killer Bee! Did many upgrades and got her running suweeeeet! (see list of mods below) even with 24,000 miles on this one.

Well I broke down and did the deed. I traded in my baby for an 06 GSXR 750. Black and Yellow paint scheme! This bike is awsome, and brand new, built the day I got it.

I will miss my F4i and will always swear by this bike and Honda's in general. You never know I might trade the new bike in for the 1000RR in a couple of years.

It's been GREAT fun and this forum has served me very well.

Take care all you F4i lovers, the best all around package bike made.

Diabo

as far a i have seen the 06 750 is the best looking suzuki they have ever made. you will enjoy this bike low end and mid is great.i think it's a better suited bike than the 1000.

Dude, congrats on the new ride! Shiny new toys are always exciting. But don't feel like you gotta leave here -- with your past experience with CBR's you may be able to help a current owner.

I will drop a line every now and again, I love the F4i and if I can be of any assistance I will chime in.
No extra parts from my old bike, I sold all the stock parts to a friend of mine that had his F4i beat up by an ex-girlfriend.

I do have an adobe acrobat copy of the full F4i service manual I can email.

please let us know how you like the bike and how you compare it to f4i. i know it's a 750 so it's going to be way stronger that the f4i but tell us what you think as far as cornering.
