i paid 6K for mine and its an '05 go a year back, the prices drop substantially

 

yea i love mine as just a weekend bike, so good luck

 

just got mine and love it to death, i wan liek u btwn bikes and since i was honda breed i stayed with honda and got the f4i. u wont go wrong with it i promise

 

Here's a thought for you. If its only a weekend bike, have you looked at getting a used one like an 02 or 03? Insurance is cheaper too. If not try negotiating the price. I got an 02 for 3500 with only 3800 miles on it, and it is the best purchase that I made, and then the extra money I saved, I used to mod the bike.

 

the vfr's (i think) are really nice bikes too especially to fit a passenger on (in my opinion)

 

Great choice with the F4i.... can't go wrong no matter what you're riding style is. I love mine to death, and it's anything but a weekend only bike, LOL (see sig), and it does everything I ask it to do, and does it flawlessly. No complaints here!!

FWIW, I paid $8500 OTD for mine brand new back in Oct. 2004. Good luck!! There's a place in Missouri and has some killer prices on bikes. The name escapes me right now but I'll find it and post the link

 

Found it! They're located in Columbia, Missouri

I go two up all the time, but I think I'd prefer the Interceptor over the F4i for straight line two up 100 mile runs. For just the rider alonethe F4i is a perfect blend of comfort and sport...for two people, not so much.

The katana and fz1 are really just too ugly to consider.
