why r dealrz hatin on F4i?
 

I pulled up to my dealership to grab some chain lube and sneak a peak at the 1000 RR- and the dealer sees me pull up and he's like- dude you know you need to get off that chick bike right? First thing out of his mouth!! I anm the proud owner of a 2001 mint condition silver and black F4i and I love it. It is only my second year riding and after spending my first year on a suzuki GS 500- the F4i was like heaven to me. Anyway, this a*% ho*& proceeds to diss my bike and tell me how if Im not on an R1 I basically am a girlie-man! He says I'll never see any real speed on the F4i and I will be bored withit soon! I've seen 130mph on my baby already! Where the hell am I gonna go faster than that! I couldnt even tell you where the nearest track is to my house! I know these guys are out to sell the expensive bikes but damn! Im pissed and i needed to vent!! I mean, im 200 pounds and this pencil neck dealer is trash talkin my bike like it aint sh*t! You tryin to sell a bike or get knocked out dude? Sorry- just thought id vent to other F4i owners and see if any one else has been told they need a bigger bike by some asshole.

His foot should be firmly planted in his mouth...some people speak before they think...I am sure he did not mean any harm, was trying to sell something

salesmen are all about the paycheck. hindsite is 20/20, you should have asked if he has had his ass kicked lately?

Don't get mad -- get even. When you decide you want another bike, step over him to get to the next salesman. Make sure you let him know you ain't buying it from him cause he's an ass.

yea, i was with a buddy when he bought a car like that. exact same senerio, dissing the car he pulled up in. the salesman tried to sell him a new one, my buddy asked where the office was, went in and got a different salesman to show him the car the other guy wanted to show him. My buddy bought it infront of the dick salesman, quiet humerous :x

My issue was the sales people at the Yamaha/Suizuki Dealer, I pull up on the 2005 f4i, my brother in law drives up in my wifes Alero (it has rims and tinit ect) My brother in law is looking at the r6 and gsx-r 600.

The sales man start dogging my bike saying how both those bikes are lighter, faster, and will handle better.
He started talking about how my bike is a touring bike and how an r6 or even a cbr 600rr is WAY FASTER.

Well I rode the GSX-r and the r6 and my bike feels faster then both.. I have almost 500 miles on mine but I don't think that makes a difference.

The f4i and the RR are really not that different..... WTF?

RE: why r dealrz hatin on F4i?
 

Opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one and theirs stink more than yours. Its what is important to you. WHen I bought my RR I sat good and hard and looked at every bike thoroughly before I made my decision. You are the person that will be riding it, so if you are happy with it then I say it is money well spent. Got a buddy with a new GSXR and we go round and round. He is happy with his and I am happy with mine. Thats what makes us all different, and that is why pretty much everyone on this board gets along. You go to other forums that post to all brands and they argue and argue over what the best. There is only one answer to who has the best bike. If you are happy with your bike, then you bought the best bike. Ride hard and enjoy!

RE: why r dealrz hatin on F4i?
 

^^^^^Amen to that! I simply liked the look of the RR better than the F4i but both are great motorcycles (and the F4i is waaaaaaaaaaay more comfy).

RE: why r dealrz hatin on F4i?
 

^^^^^Agreed, I bought the same year and color as the above pic (silver/grey) and I had a choice of a chromed 04 600RR or my 05 F4i and I chose the F4i because my girl rides with me and we test drove my buddies RR and it was uncomfortable for us to ride together. If I were riding solo most of the time I'd get the RR. They are both nice bikes I guess it depends on what you really want and like. Screw the dealers, if you continue to listen to what they tell you, You'll wind up paying for something that you don't even want or like.

Dude seriously. Dont pay attention to those lame dealers he was just probably trying to sell you a new Litre bike. Personally I dont see what the big thing is. I have an '05 f4i and its plenty fast...and i'm a bit tubby to boot. Question....why do you need to go much over the speed limit? See if you can make those huge bike payments with all the speeding tickets those guys get. Not to mention there are a number of idiots that get on those R1's who are just retarded...you see em poppin wheelies and doing dumb a$% stuff. They are the ones that always get scooped off the pavement.

I am absolutely in love with my F4i. I think it has plenty of pickup. How much do you really need anyway? I can get mine up to 60 or 70 faster than any sports car out there. i just dont see the need...not to mention the extra 2 or 3 grand in cost.

Keep your F4i bro..they are awesome!

Agreed! Im keepin my baby!

RE: why r dealrz hatin on F4i?
 

Obviously the dealer has no idea what he is talking about. We all know the Katana is a girls bike....lol.. But seriosly everytime i ride with my friends they say i ride the hell out of my honda...so they never joke abot riding a girls bike....

RE: why r dealrz hatin on F4i?
 

i know a girl who rides a gsxr1000 who would make that bitch sales**** look like a fag

I just got my 01 red/black f4i and its awesome, i love this bike, plenty fast, looks very nice and rides great. I get tons of compliments cause there arent too many f4i's around, most people have gixxers, r6s and 600rrs. Its my first street bike and I love how easy it is to ride and how forgiving it is, but I still respect it and wear all my gear. I just love riding, so this bike is more than enough for me.

Im happy so far, and tomorow, I will be bolting on my jardine race pipe...heheeh...cant wait[8D]

RE: why r dealrz hatin on F4i?
 

Seriously, what a moron. He acts like you need a new bike. Yes, the Honda is slower than the Suzuki, RR, and the GSX-R. But who really cars? I could have got any bike I wanted. But I wanted the F4i. I honestly wanted the R6, but after hearing all the problems with the trans, carb, etc... I decided to go with the honda. And come on, not using FI until '03? What was yamaha thinking? The F4i is a sweet bike, and it'll keep up with just about anything out there. The difference in speed is so small, you'd have to be a hell of a rider/pro to notice. They act like you couldn't have gotten any other bike, like you got the honda because that's all you could get and you had to settle for it.. Morons. I didn't even consider the GSX-R. That bike to me is ugly. When I was looking for a bike, it was either the honda or the yamaha. Lets not forget honda's rep. for the best quality machines on the road. There is none better.

That A$$H0le dealer probably doesnt even know how to ride a bike. He probably drives an old minivan because thats all he can muster in terms of speed. I would have told him "here, take this chainlube and go screw yourself."

RE: why r dealrz hatin on F4i?
 

Sounds like his cubicle is too close the garage and getting too much exhaust fumes.

Next time somebody stars flaming your ride, whatever it may be, ask them if they'll buy you an upgrade? That will shut them up pretty quick. I do see a lot of women on F4is... who cares, something to break the ice when you ride up to the next hottie on a Honda, right?
