Just bought this.
From a guy about 150 miles away. Here's the dilemma. I don't yet feel comfortable driving on the Interstate in a big city, so my buddies helping me pick it up this weekend. My question is what will I need to get an f4I to fit in an 04 ranger? Obviously tie-down straps, but will I need to get one of those bed extending ready ramps??
Also is there a certain kind of tie downs I need to get or will any ratcheting ones be ok??
Thanks and I look forward to being part of the community... Even though it's only an f4I it's still a pretty large upgrade from the old FZR I own now.

yea that's an 05 as well. Just under 2200 miles. I almost picked up a dark red one, but the dealership wouldn't budge enough on their price. Oh well, I can buy tie down straps, a bike ramp/bed extender if needed, pay my buddies gas, and still come out with extra cash.

Thanks EPN for the response. Will these work?? The usa pro grips ones for $10.00 each? I'm guessing that four of them would be enough?

I don't have a problem with buying straps from a motorcycle shop. I'm just thinking that if their regulaur tie down straps they may be over inflated with a motorcycle on the front label.

Ya man, any 3/4 inch ratchet strap is good. But this special bar stap I'm poorly explaining is worth getting because it keeps the straps away from the fairings
Sorry didn't see the next question. I have an suv so I use a trailor and it's bed is plenty big for a bike. But the bike's wheel base is about 57 Point something inches I think, you can look that up on the Honda website. I'd be willing to bet that it will fit in the little truck with the tail gate down.
Sorry my bad. 57 didn't look right, the exact wheelbase is 54.5
