Hey guys. This maybe an unusual question but I need your opinions! Okay so back in December I bought a 2002 F4I with like 29K miles. I rode it for a little but maybe less than 300 miles and had to sell it for personal reasons. To make a long story short I bought a 2003 600RR with 14k miles for about $3900. Anyway today the guy who bought my F4I told me he sold the F4I to his buddy because he is moving out of state, and his buddy wanted to trade the F4I for my RR but would put about $800 on top of the trade. It got me thinking because my old F4I had pretty much new tires (Owner rode about 1k miles) and my RR needs new tires soon and new front and back brake pads or disks cause it shakes when I apply them. The thing though is my RR has a lot of good after market parts like Two Bros exhaust, Power commander, GPR stabalizer, steel braded brake lines etc. I was thinking of doing the trade but I would remove my after market parts and put it on the F4I. In your opinion would this be a good trade?

 

No. Keep the RR.

 

I've always been a fan of the F4I, sure the RR's are sexy but me personally I would stick with the F4i. I guess it all falls into opinions and personal tastes? Since you are switching over the aftermarket parts, I say yes. But definitely check out the F4i, who knows what they did to it to offer up the trade for the RR.

 

No, you wouldn't.

 

Can this even be directly transfered?

 

the f4is are great bikes but if i got rid of mine for a 600rr it would take A LOT more than $800 to make me trade back down to one. keep the rr

 

boom.....that just happend....i 2nd that

 

I agree with everyone else. I'm not talkin down the F4i bc I absolutely love them. But it is still a down grade. It would take a whole lot more then 800 dollars to trade. But on a side note the insurance would be a little cheaper

 

I know I wouldn't trade my F4I for an RR if that helps. I don't have any problems at all keeping up with my buddy on his 07 RR with a k&N and Twobros. And if I get a little bit of a run on him he can't pass me. Thought that was kinda weird for a 6 year newer bike.

 

None of those parts would work on the F4i (even the brake lines would probably be the wrong length). I would say it's a bad trade on your end. The F4i (while being the tank that it is) has double the mileage the RR has. The aftermarket parts alone would probably cost $1k+ to buy for the F4i specific equivalents. Unless you hate the RR, or the guy is willing to throw in another $1000 I'd say no thanks.
