Personally I believe it is more fun to ride a slow bike fast rather than ride a fast bike slow. Not that I'm saying the F4i is slow, because it is not. In fact you can't really enjoy it to its full potential on the streets either. The F4i is a more than capable bike, if it wasn't mine would have been sold by now. It's not the best in any one single category, but it pretty much rocks in every category. comfort, low end grunt, looks, top end power, reliability.

I definitely will... The biggest difference I noticed before even leaving the driveway was not necessarily the lighter weight, but the way everything was put together, it was so easy to go side to side, almost effortless compared to the F4i, and the riding position is def more aggressive too...

I have to replace the left handlebar before I go riding though, so when that arrives I'll take her around town and give my comparison

You really went way out of scope from your thread topic getting this purchase.

@ clayp - I see what you did there.

Lower the F4i's front end and raise the rear and it will be just as effortless. Its all about how you set the bike up. Factory settings don't mean much as they're all adjustable.

I understand what you mean, but as I've only been on 2 wheels for about 4 months total, idk how to do that stuff yet lol

But since people have asked, here us a picture of how it sits now, I'm waiting on my new stay bracket to come in the mail and a left handle... I just ordered these fairings as well
