Question for everyone need some input
Ok so about 6 months ago i took over payments on a 06 f4i for a friend who couldnt handle it financially. basically he got raped when he bought it at the dealer and paid about 9200 out the door. so after about 6 months its sittin at almost 8000 left on the financing. I dont really like the f4i and would much more prefer to have a RR ( like the look better). Am i basically screwed or do you think i could some how sell this bike to someone for the remaining 8000 and then get an RR? or could i trade it in for an RR? help me out cause im stuck on what i should do

Your buddy got royally screwed. Gonna be tough finding someone to pay $8K for that bike. You'd be lucky to get $5K.

RE: Question for everyone need some input
well guess im gonna have to learn to love the F4i huh. my problem is i just hate seeing other riders in town cause i know when they see me its like look at that puss on the F4i with their r1 and even r6 look meaner than the f4i
|
RE: Question for everyone need some input
Both you and your buddy got screwed, no offense. It would be really tough for you to get 8k for that bike. I would suggest you just stick it out, get as much as you can out of the bike, cus otherwise you'll take a pretty substantial hit on selling the bike now.

thanks for all your guys input man i appreciate it

RE: Question for everyone need some input
The F4i is a beautiful bike, and you can ride it proud.
|
RE: Question for everyone need some input
First off, I want to say that I don't think it's very tactful to come onto a F4i message board and talk about how you feel embarassed to ride the bike. I'm not going to criticize you for it though. Something bigger and badder comes out every year....unless you have enough $$ to upgrade every year then you're going to have to get past all that. If you're unhappy with the f4i the way it is now then mod it out and really make it yours.

RE: Question for everyone need some input
yeah your definitly SOL...
|
RE: Question for everyone need some input
yea its all good i like the f4i i just like the look of other bikes out there better. what would you guys recommend as some important mods to hook up the bike? like i said im doing the seat conversion and after that im gonna work on a undertail for the new fairing. then flushmounts, and of course i gotta get a new exhaust. i was checking out the how to section and those LEDS in the pegs looks bad ass but do they work was a turn signals or more just for looks? what other mods do you guys recommend? crazy stuff you guys have done to your bikes?
|
RE: Question for everyone need some input
shoot after you get all those done ide say get a radar detector and damper.. you listed all the good stuff. oh, and frame sliders

Sorry, man :( |
RE: Question for everyone need some input
the blue is pretty sweet but i like the yellow also ill get back to you on that one man...i really want the red and black, red is my color but ill consider that trade. anyone try the frame sliders without having to drill a hole in the faring?
|
RE: Question for everyone need some input
Sweet. Let me know. I have a friend in Tuscon. I could ship the stuff to him and he can arrange the swap with you.
|
RE: Question for everyone need some input
cool cool

RE: Question for everyone need some input
when you are hanging off the bike flying through a 30mph turn at 60mph, you will have better things to do than worry about how your bike looks. besides when riding twisties, i can't tell a ducatti 1098 from a ninja 250. i suppose if you a just cruising the city streets all day, it might matter if your exhaust goes under the seat or not though...
|
RE: Question for everyone need some input
i live in tucson man isnt too much exciting riding i mean there are some spots but they are long way away and yea i think that my biggest thing is the exhaust i like the whole under the seat look. and yea i only do city street riding.

RE: Question for everyone need some input
You must be a pretty generous friend to pay $1000's more than it's worth..

RE: Question for everyone need some input

RE: Question for everyone need some input
Yeah, (no offense) but stop being a pussy about"how everyone else see'smelook" thing!!!
TheONLY thing you shouldworry about in the"how you look on your bike" thingis... PROPER RIDING GEAR. I have to agree though. I love my '01 f4i (and soon to be 1000) because of the splitseat. So, kudos on switching it out...since that's what you like.;) |
RE: Question for everyone need some input
lol im a ****in pretty boy god damnit! stop yelling at me! haha jk but yea i feel you i guess it was just the banana seat and the whole exhaust thing i didnt like. i like the spilt seat look and i like the exhaust under the seat but **** the f4i will grow on me once i hook it all up. and i have all the proper riding gear already this is what i wear when i ride..
