yea u should get ur brake lever fixed before riding it cause if u have to slam on the brakes to avoid something that rear brake does add some stopping power so u should atleast have it lol

You'll definitely want a rear brake before you start popping wheelies, intentionally or otherwise. Frame sliders are a good idea, too. Almost all of us have dropped a bike at about 0 mph doing something stupid like stopping at a red light and putting our foot down on an oil slick, or parking on soft ground and having the kickstand sink in until the bike flips, or trying to ride away with a disk lock on....

Congrats on the pick up. When I went sportbike the ONLY bike I was looking into was the F4I because of everything it has to offer.
It is too cold to be riding here as well. We San Diegans have been getting crappy weather.

Before you go out and ride that thing, get a new lever or rearset. Being your first bike, at the very least you need to have all your brakes, lol.
Looks good though, I have always liked that paint scheme. Stay safe and get that shiite replaced!
EDIT: Those look like factory 3 spoke wheels... are they? I stiill don't like the polished wheels on a sportbike. Still looks great though.
Also, looks like the high-mount exhaust eliminates the passenger pegs... is that the case?
