Funny thing is, if most people, including those from this site, decided to sell their f4i they'd go post an ad and prolly ask for around 4-4.5 grand. But if they aren't the ones selling then nothing's really worth much, lol.
To be completely fair, it's the beginning of the riding season, bike prices are high right now and f4i's are pretty desirable bikes. Prized by stunters and considered an extremely good looking bike with a tank like engine. The time for finding that killer deal on an f4i is kinda past this far into the season. Only chance you have now is finding someone who really needs the money for some reason and then jew him down. Basically go douchebag and screw some poor slob, who also happens to be a fellow biker, out of what he needs the most at that time, cash. Or wait till the end of the season and try to swoop in when the prices go back down due to people not wanting to store them.
4k is not a bad price for a f4i right now, in the slightest. Depending on how bad the "light road rash" is you might have bargaining space but I wouldn't expect much. And no, if anyones wondering if I paid a ton for mine and am trying to justify, nope, got one hell of a deal on mine. Everyone has some story of some awesome deal they got on some awesome thing due to them being so awesome. Forget all that, 4k is a fair price for a good running f4i in decent shape at this point in the season, end of story.

I just purchased my '02 F4i (with 5809 mi.) from a dealer last week. They were asking $4480 I talked them down to $3850, but had to pay(at dealer cost) to have the cct replaced. That ran about $250. Had I found this site before hand I would have changed it myself and would have felt better about the deal. Over all I am very pleased with my purchase.

Deals huh? So you got a bike with half the miles, rash and a shot cct needing to be replaced for 240 less than what I stated was a fair price for a decent, good running f4i was. And you had to drive three and a half hours to do it? Wow, what a bargain. After replacing the cct and repairing the rash your well over the 4 grand I qouted as a fair price so umm, ok. Fact is after you got your bike fixed you spent as much as this guy is considering spending even if he didn't bargain it down a cent. So why the big fuss over the price? If it's in as good a shape as it seems in that pic, it's a buy and ride deal, no repairs necessary.
