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.

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.
