Default **Updated** First bike and its an F4i !!!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to slightly introduce myself and also my new (to me) F4i.

I picked her up last week for $1800. Which I thought was a steal. The bike is a 2001 f4i, clean and well maintained. It has about 22k on the the clock, but runs strong and smooth.

Heres a few photos of what the bike looked like when I picked it up....its ok to laugh at it, because I sure did.

It had to have the CCT replaced, and we did that this weekend. I also put a new smoked DB and a new set of grips on it. Will be putting a stock swing arm on it next weekend, so if anyone wants the 9" extended swing arm, Ill sell it to ya!

Got lots of plans for this bike, including a new color scheme. Will keep you all updated on the progress and mods as they go.

Hope you enjoyed! Thanks again!

Happy to see the extension is going to be removed. Im all for people doing what they want with their bikes but a swingarm extension on a 600? Nice grab for the money on your end.

I'm gonna add an f4easy to the paddock over the winter to have one to stunt the hell out of next season. Keepin the 954 fresh and minty with a new titanium/black paint job.

Thanks everyone! I picked up my permit a few months ago. Though I'm not new to riding as I've ridden dirt bikes and four-wheelers most of my life, this is the first motorcycle. I've ridden the bike a little, but am waiting till I take my MSF course next month before any lengthy rides.

I couldnt believe the price for it when I saw it in the trader. I called the guy the morning the trader came out because I knew it'd be gone quick if I didn't ****** it up. The guy told me that he basically got his girlfriend knocked up and had to sell the bike to put a down payment on a new house. His loss, my beautiful gain!!!

He also threw in a joe rocket jacket, fulmer helmet, and targa cowl.
