Haters? You seen that episode of britains got talent when that hideous creature opens her mouth and amazes everyone with her beautiful voice? Reminds of of that, absolutely hideous on the outside, but somehting decent on the inside.
I'm all for mods, but that reeks of someone laying down the bike hard enough to destroy all the plastics and trying to repair it back to street legal with some race only fairings they got for cheap and a pair of fog lights shoved through some holes dremeled through the front. Those are not street fairings, but cheap aftermarket race ones, painted a hideous green no less. Some things, Aken my friend, are well and truly deserving of a little "hate", imo, this qualifies. Cheap ghetto "repairs" done to a nice bike, sad. As for the swingarm and engine mods, you wouldn't want something that "modified". You never know whether the work was done properly, and judging from the quality of the fairing work and their obvious unwillingness to spend the cash to do it right, I highly doubt it was.

I'm all for giving someone the proper advice to stay away from a bike that's been abused or had shotty modifications / work done. But these comments do not fall into that category:
Etc etc...

I understand the Power Commander is a piggyback computer. Ive been into cars for a few years now and from my experience piggybacks suck when it comes to cars and hurt driveability. Only when combined with an ecu flash, from what I have read, is how they can be used optimally.

*does burnout on Jaybird's face*
I'm a firm believer in doing what YOU want, regardless of people's opinions (I had a car with tons of neon / LED lights on it - you figure it out). That's why I say what I do.
And since you ask, no I don't like the bike. I think the headlight is kind of cool because it's different and custom. I dislike extended swing arms unless it's practical - a buddy of mine has a 5" extension on a Hayabusa and I think it looks great. The paint color is cool. All around I have mixed reactions.

I would pass myself , but I am NOT you, I bought a VERY stock F4i for 4 thousand, And I love it, I agree with the guys saying the more stock the better. You never know who stayed up all night " working " on that bike.
Do what you want and, F EVERYONE else.
Just my two cents, ( which you did ask for I might add )
Shop for motorcycle where it rains all year, so they will not have very many miles on them, I.E oregon, washington, that kind of thing
rubber side down!

For this bike, PC is a great upgrade. Many have reported positive results and seem to be happy with the $300+ purchase. I'm glad that there's now finally some alternative products in the market. I'll let you know how happy I am once I get my custom map done. I bought my bike with the PC installed.
