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.

 

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

 

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.

 

yea i dont feel like i got screwed man i was helping a friend out. thats what friends are for i guess even though ill be paying on this for awhile

 

damn when did youbuy it? i bought mine oct 05 and OTD at 12k with some gear and owe alittle under 4k left

 

he bought it in september 06 i think

 

I would be more concerned on how well I rode the twistied that what some jackass on an R1 thinks. We beat this one to death, but there are some guys on a bigger bike because of the status they think it gives them. Anyway, good luck, the RR is a great bike, but I love my F4i...she'll grow on you.

 

+1 on that, stop worring about what the posers are thinking, unless your a poser too. An F4i is a fantastic bike, and although I agree they Yams are mean looking, learn to ride your nice and comfy bike, and just leave em in the twisties. I was in the market for a new bike last month, and I would only consider an older F4i. nothing else would do.(xcept the new 07RR $$$) Learn to love it, cause you aint getting out from under that thing.

 

If you look like a *****, go to the gym. If you already have 17" inch arms then you probably look like a puss from the way you dress.
