Well a member here has an f4i with over 200k miles and if he offered it up, I'd buy it. Mileage depends on riding type and owner maintenance. Which is why I'd buy the 200k bike: he maintains his bike and rides like a normal rider.

Me personally, I'd start asking specific questions once it hit 20k-30k. What were the results of the vavle clearance check, what kind of plugs did the owner put in, what type fork oil etc. These would all be things that should a been done as normal maint. If the owner couldn't answer, we'd start talking price drops.

Here is a cheaper one with an awesome paint job that will make you feel like royalty!
2003 HONDA F4i (600) with a custom paint job.

This one kinda looks like BS but potentially a pretty good deal if it isn't.
Honda 2006 CBR 600 F4I

This one looks pretty neat.
**CUSTOM**02 Honda CBRF4i...Must See!! Best offer...

Seems like you can find them for 3k pretty easy. Anything less than that probably gets scooped up pretty fast.
Honda cbr f4i 2006
2001 Honda CBR600F4i
2002 Honda CBR 600 F4i

Some are overpriced because they're not in a rush to sell, so they figure if they can get a great price, then cool.

Others start high hoping to haggle down to the amount they really want. It also keeps the tire kickers away for the most part (in my experience).

Ya you guys pay less for our gas then we do lol.

And insurance, some people under 25 here that want to ride an F4i pay upwards of $5000/year for just liability.
