A buddy of mine has a 2002 CBR600F4i and he wants to get rid of it. it has 12000 miles and its been dropped on the right side by the previous owner. the tank is dented and the farings are scratched a little bit. it has a yosh pipe. and needs a new front tire. hes asking 4k for it. sound like a decent price? theres a picture down there.

any way what i was also wondering is are there generations of the f4i. like where they changed things and one part from/for one year might not work on another. the reason im asking is for when i look for aftermarket or replacement parts and whatnot.

another thing is what are some problem areas for them, if any at all. im more of a yamaha guy but i want a sport bike, this guy is a buddy of mine, and i cant afford a new r6. in other words i dont know much about hondas bikes.

thanks in advance for the input guys.

 

Biggest problem with the F4i is the CCTL which goes bad and rattles like hell. It's a pretty easy fix though and there is tons of info on it just do a quick search.

As far as differences go between years the 01-03 has the split tail while 04+ has the "banana" seat. I dont believe there are any other differences between them aside from the tail section.

Price wise 4k might be a little bit high I think you would get more interest if it was around 3500, but it does look like a pretty clean bike.

Hope this helped a little.

 

i was thinking about showing him 3500 cash and seeing what he things. because who can resist it? heh he needs money sort of badly and he also said he would pay for a new front tire so i may just give him 4 for it. hes a good friend of mine as well. ill look up about that cctl youre talking about.

and another thing, are there any other f4i forums out there other than cbrworld. like any f4i specific forums that actually have decent activity? im the kind of person that needs to have a plethora of online support since i am **** about needing to know everything in and out about what im interested it. and for that i find forums are the best place.

4000 is a bit high. I paid 3500 for mine with only 3800 miles on it and no damage. Offer him 3000 and tell him you have a grand of work to put into it. Money talks.
