LOL...the dealer i went to had the two bikes right across from each other. The salesman had them both pulled out into the isle for me. I sat on one for a couple minutes then the other...then back...and this went on for quite some time. I didn't have quite enough $$ for a down payment, but at least i've figured out what i want. I plan on making the purchase in a couple weeks.
Was yours slightly used? How did you get it for $7000?

I finally did it today….
I put a down payment on a ‘06 Pearl Yellow / Metallic Titanium F4i so that my local Honda place would order me a brand spankin’ new one still sitting in a crate in a warehouse somewhere in Louisiana.

You still need to shop around or take a trip to Memphis...

Well I went and picked up the Bike today.....well sort of....
So I got about a 3 miles from the Bike shop and I accidently killed it at a red light (still learning the new clutch)....
I went to try to start it back up and "vrrrrrr.....click click click..."
Remember I have only had this bike maybe 10 minutes.... so I try EVERYTHING to get it to start.... kickstand down in neutral.... in gear with clutch pulled.... everything.
So here I am waving traffic around me and trying to walk the bike to the curb so I could park it (still trying to watch traffic on this 5 lane road).... I finally get the bike to the curb, which was a feat.... And I immediatly call up the dealership, but it was like 5:25 and they close at 5:30. I luckily got someone to finally answer and I bitched them out for sending me out with a battery that had not been charged. So they send a truck with a trailer (don't ask) and they half-*** strap it down and I am forced to ride back with them to the shop. It took forever to find a way to get it into the trailer with the traffic. Of course these guys are pissed because they were suppose to be off at 5:30 and I was pissed... Not a pleasent experience. Luckily we got the bike back in one piece...
Anyway, so the bike is at the shop now on a slow charge and I will be picking it up tomorrow..... I have to say it was nice for the 10 minutes that I had it....

wow, awesome dude ! Congrats btw. I'm getting mine in soon. It's on the order, just like yours was. The thing is I'm currently staying overseas and I'm having the bike shipped to me. I picked the yellow pearl as well..I think I'd like it better then the blue one, but still not sure what it will look like in real time. Hondas look lot better when you look at the live instead of from the pictures and that's a good thing So how is that Yellow anyway ? Is it bannana shade ? Not too disturbing for the onlookers ? I quess you gotta go with mostly black gear on it. Whatcha think about that Yellow ? anyone ?

My helmet and gloves are yellow & gray, while my jacket is mostly black with a gray stripe and some gray accents.
